Matti and Elli are back to continue our conversation about language, learning, and culture. In this episode of In Class, we get to hear a little about the roles English and American culture play in other countries and cultures.
So much has been turned upside down in 2020 - including international education. Hear about some of the changes to educational institutions, English language learning, and what you can do to help bring American education into the post-COVID world.
Not all English language teachers follow the same path into the field. Do you need a teaching certification? How do you choose the best course? What do you learn in a training course? I'll clear up a few points of confusion and add a few notes for prospective teachers.
English speakers Elli and Matthias join this episode to discuss how they learned English, the attitudes towards language learning in their countries, and tips for anyone hoping to live and work in another language.
One of the coolest things about English is that it is a living language - new words can come from almost anywhere! But how are they made and what does this freedom and creativity mean for the English language and its speakers?
Trust me, I'm an English language instructor! On this episode, hear my story about becoming a language instructor and why international education is such an important and fascinating industry, and why you should trust everything I say.
In this episode, we're going inside the mind of a complicated bilingual who started out growing up in Spanish and later was required to swap to English. What's it like to have conflicting grammar and vocabulary? How do you comfortably communicate when you have so many options? Join us to find out!
