About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're thrilled to have Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in TESOL and the lead instructor for our Postgraduate Certificate in English Language Learners. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about this course and what inspired you to create it? GUEST: Thanks for having me! This course is designed to enhance educators' skills in teaching English to speakers of other languages. I've worked with diverse learners for over two decades, and I saw a need for practical, accessible training in second language acquisition strategies and curriculum development. HOST: That's fascinating. Can you share any current trends or challenges in the field of TESOL? GUEST: Absolutely. One trend is the increasing demand for online and blended learning options, especially due to the pandemic. A challenge is addressing the diverse needs of English language learners, who often face linguistic and cultural barriers. HOST: How does this course address those challenges and prepare educators for success in today's classrooms? GUEST: We focus on developing cultural competency and addressing linguistic diversity by providing practical classroom-based methodologies and assessment techniques. Our students gain hands-on experience and leave with a solid understanding of how to create inclusive, engaging learning environments. HOST: That sounds incredibly valuable. As we look to the future, what do you envision for the field of TESOL and the role of educators in this growing industry? GUEST: I believe TESOL will continue to be a vital part of education, as our world becomes more interconnected. Educators who are well-versed in second language acquisition and cultural competency will be in high demand, and this course is an excellent starting point for those looking to make a difference in this field.
