Episode 9: How can I support my own and my students' wellbeing?
COVID-19 has affected so much of how we deliver education and language teaching. As schools (in some parts of the world) return to something approaching normality, it’s important to consider the mental health impact of the pandemic. Confronted with other challenging issues as well, such as climate anxiety, students are looking to teachers for mental health support more than ever before. In this episode, we’ll look at British Council set of activities created as part of its Connecting Classrooms programme. These materials help teachers promote wellbeing activities for both you and your students. In the second half of the episode, we speak to the teacher trainer, author and researcher Sarah Mercer and discuss how teachers can make their classrooms places where mental wellbeing is maintained, and even improved.

podcasting value.
podcasting is something great especially when feeding ears and brain about English pronunciation and vocabulary.it works a lot when acquiring a language and following the shape and way to express one's self freely and confidently.
the more we listen to English musicality, the better our tongue become accustomed to using English expression without being stuck.
Good
