Episode 39: Unpacking Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in ELT with Laura Patsko
In this final episode of the third season of What You Say in English, I had the privilege of engaging in a thought-provoking conversation with Laura Patsko, a language and communication specialist with a focus on English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). We delved into complex concepts such as Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Inclusive Education. Laura's insights into these topics were enlightening, and it was fascinating to explore their implications in the English Language Teaching (ELT) industry. We discussed the importance of inclusivity in lesson planning, the role of identity in language learning, and the impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on the ELT world. Laura's expertise and passion for these subjects were evident throughout our conversation, and I found myself learning so much from her. This episode is a treasure trove of information for anyone interested in language, communication, and the evolving role of English in the world. It's an educational and insightful conversation that I believe you won't want to miss. Remember to check out the episode description for links to further reading on the topics we discussed. This is the last episode of this third season of What You Say in English. I'll be taking a break for the month of August, but I'll keep active on TikTok. I hope to start the fourth season halfway through September. RESOURCES:Laura's suggested sites

Episode 38: Unleashing the Power of Community in Education with Kate Bodrova.
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kate Bodrova, co-founder of the innovative EdTech startup, Amazy. We explored her journey from a language-loving student to an entrepreneur, and how her passion for teaching and belief in the power of community led to the creation of Amazy. This platform is truly revolutionizing language learning, empowering educators to become more independent, visible, and financially successful. We discussed how Amazy allows teachers to share and monetize their content, creating a source of passive income. Plus, its AI-powered features are a game-changer, helping teachers create lesson plans in a fraction of the usual time. For those of you intrigued by our conversation and eager to learn more about Amazy, I'll be creating a short video tutorial on my TikTok channel explaining how it works. And, thanks to Kate's generosity, I'll be giving away 5 full-year business licenses for Amazy to 5 of my most committed followers. So, stay tuned for that! This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of language education and the transformative power of technology in teaching. Don't miss it!
