Interview with Marek Kiczkowiak Part One

This week we talk about ...that thing.  The year 2020. And it's only July!  We had to eventually, so after putting the podcast on hiatus during the school-year lockdown to cut down on our screen time, we look back on it now.     Below we've supplied a few links to some stuff that worked for us that you might find useful. We've used Whereby, Zoom (We're sure you've heard of it), Jitsi, Web Whiteboard, which was bought over and became Miro (Just to point out, we've not used Miro since they bought over WW so can't vouch for it), Google Classroom, Cisco Webex.  ----more---- We're two teachers who have worked across the UK, Ireland, Spain and Italy.

Elephant in the Room -The 2020 Podcast

This week Alan and Chris (joined very briefly by Victor) go gardening and discuss the old view of Parsnips in ELT, and discuss what the new Parsnips should look like, introduced by Aleksandra Popovski in her MaWSIG blog last year. And Alan gets left with the hardest question he's ever had to face - which to live without, Jamón or Queso?! We we discuss why the old Parsnips of Politics, Alcohol, Religion, Sex, Narcotics, -isms, and Pork should be universally replaced by Peace, Action, Representation, Self-care, Non-violence, Inquiry and Perseverance.  You can read Aleksandra Popovski's article on the 3 E's of Material Writing here. The BBC Planet Earth 2 trailer Alan talked about is available here. Alan also mentioned the talk given at a TEDx event by Araik Arzumanyan where he discussed Fighting the "Native-speaker fallacy" which can be seen here.  ...We might have a very special guest talking about this in the near future... ----more---- We're two teachers who have worked across the UK, Ireland, Spain and Italy.

Planting New Parsnips

This week Alan and Chris discuss the little things in the classroom that makes a big difference. Alan likes thumbs on table, while Chris prefers to give the finger. From what should be on your class walls (if possible), entering the classroom, slight cultural differences, body language, how activities are started to how we get attention, as well as the vocabulary we use and then to exiting the classroom, it's the little things that count towards making our classrooms a much more effective learning environment. ----more---- We're two teachers who have worked across the UK, Ireland, Spain and Italy.

Feedback

This week we talk about our own language learning journeys and how that has influenced our own teaching. Being two bookish English teachers, our first recommendation is get students reading, reading and a bit more reading - but alas, they might not be too into that, so it's important to get them using the language in ways that interests them. The website Alan mentioned was 1001 Reasons To Learn Spanish, where you can find all of Juan Fernandez's work, for free, to get people learning Spanish. ----more---- We're two teachers who have worked across the UK, Ireland, Spain and Italy.

Our Language Learning Journeys

Hugo Medina

This week Alan and Chris are joined by Victor Hugo Medina in Belo Horizonte, Brazil to discuss all things pronunciation.  What difficulties do students have, what problems do teachers have, and is there an issue with academic native speaker bias? Victor tells us his story in teaching, after his BA and MA in Linguistics, and how students can overcome some of the main problems with English pronunciation. Alan mentioned a paper written by Robin Walker in Issue 90 of ET Professional available here. ----more---- We're two teachers who have worked across the UK, Ireland, Spain and Italy.

Teaching and Managers and Managing Teacher Managers

We're all teachers so we have to plan what we are going to do in the year. Also mallards? This week Chris and Alan offer some tips on lesson planning, our own ideas, some other teacher tips, and some reading material that we think may help. Extended show notes with links to what was discussed is available on our blog. ----more---- We're two teachers who have worked across the UK, Ireland, Spain and Italy. We worked together for two years in Cáceres, Spain.  We've plenty to say on the ELT world, so thought we'd make a podcast on it.
