Reimagining ELT with Teacher Kay
Honest Talk about Equity in English Language Teaching & Learning
In today’s English language conversation, Teacher Kay of Sincerely Teaching joins me to discuss reimagining English Language Teaching (ELT) so that it's inclusive and just for English language teachers AND learners.
Kay shares her journey into teaching English and unpacks the deep-rooted issues of native speakerism and racism within the industry. She helps us challenge dominant narratives in order to create language learning environments that celebrate linguistic diversity.
Kay also discusses her course (that you definitely want to take!!!) called "Creating Cycles of Empowerment." It aims to give teachers the tools to transform their teaching practices and offer students a learning space that is authentic and socially-conscious.
This intermediate and advanced English conversation offers a powerful critique of the status quo in ELT and provides a hopeful vision for a more inclusive future.
And as always, it's an opportunity for you, the English language teacher and English language learner to practice listening to messy, imperfect, wonderful spoken English.
Thanks for listening to Hear You Go, Episode 58!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
