Conversations about Language Teaching

About Conversations about Language Teaching

"Conversations about Language Teaching" is a podcast of unscripted discussions of language teaching, drawing on both research and classroom & online language teaching. If you like thinking deeply about issues of classroom language teaching and how those relate to research and theory, this podcast might be for you. Reed & Diane, the hosts, base our knowledge of language teaching on research we've read & done, theoretical views of language acquisition, our experiences as language teachers and learners, and our observations of language teaching in the US and elsewhere. We like to help build bridges among teachers and researchers and view ourselves as part of both communities. We collaborate on projects & like talking about language teaching & learning, and decided to have some of those conversations in a podcast format. Here it is! A transcripted, video version of the podcast is on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@ConversationsaboutLanguage More about Diane: https://sites.google.com/view/dianen/home More about Reed: http://www.reedriggs.com
