This Friday’s Podcast.

Hello everyone. I’ve just published my latest podcast on lesson observations. Wonderful cure for insomnia 🙂

Hi there, I’ve just published a new podcast for May reminiscing about EFL school inspections. It’s twice as long as some of my usual podcasts, so that’s either good or bad, depending on your point of view. It’s available on Anchor FM and Spotify (and other platforms). I know it’s on Spotify as I’ve justContinue reading “New Podcast Details”

Learning a Different Language-Part 1

I first started learning a different language in the last year of primary school. I was quite excited by the promise of these lessons whereas some of my classmates probably groaned.

After nearly forty years of commuting by train in and out ofContinue reading “Twenty Years in EFL-Part 5”
