British Council: TeachingEnglish - series overview
In this ten-part podcast series from the British Council, we try and provide solutions to some of the key questions being asked by English teachers around the world. Each episode explores a specific topic through interviews, a focus on recent developments and reports on British Council initiatives in English language teaching. Practical show notes and transcripts are available to download at the bottom of the page.
Episode 10: How can my colleagues and I support each other?
When working in a busy and stressful educational environment, it’s important that teachers support and help each other as much as possible. In this episode, we hear from several teacher networks around the world about how they support their members, the projects they are doing, and the impact which they are having. Following this, we speak to Pauline Blake-Johnston, who has a wide range of experience in participating in and managing teacher networks. Her experience ranges from being the chair of NATECLA Scotland (the National Association for Teaching English and other Community Languages to Adults), to vice-chair of the Glasgow ESOL forum, to being a board member for IATEFL’S ESOL special interest group.

Looking forward to this course
I would be happy to know when these courses will start. We are willing to do all the courses. I waited.
A good uplifting approach to working in a busy and stressful educational environment, and the importance that
teachers support and helping each other as much as possible is sometimes overlooked, especially by the individual. In this episode, it was great to hear from several teacher networks around the world about how they support their members, the projects they are doing, and the impact which they are having. Well done...keep these projects alive and assist us in spreading them as much as possible.
