Series 3, episode 10: What do you want to ask us?
Welcome to this special final episode of series 3 of the TeachingEnglish podcast! Chris and We'am look back at some of the highlights from the series. They also talk to a panel of ELT experts, who answer the questions from you, our TeachingEnglish community listeners. First, we ask IATEFL vice president Chris Graham about teacher associations and their benefits. Chris gives his view on teacher talk time and talks about how ideas about learning styles have changed. Next, PhD researcher Silvia Nassar gives some practical techniques for teaching collocations. She also tells us how to deal with fast finishers to maximise learning and minimise disruption. Finally, we talk to university professor Lina Mukhopadhyay, an expert in multilingualism and English language education based in Hyderabad, India. Lina helps us think about how to use learners' home languages in class and shares some of the challenges and benefits of multilingual classes.
Show notes and transcripts in English and Arabic are available to download at the bottom of this page.
