The elegance of English.
I'd never thought of English that way, but my guest, Maria
Glazunova, explains why English has such an emotional hold her on. It's a beautiful English conversation we have for you today.
Maria and I talk about:
- her history with English: learning and teaching it
- burnout and how that led her to adopt a dogme approach to teaching English
- how her book literally saved her life
- how she uses a reactive teaching approach with tech professionals
- how my English pronunciation course helped her better diagnose her clients' problems, and empowered her to teach pronunciation
Whether you're learning English or you're an English language teacher, or both, this episode is going to offer you plenty to think about, in addition, as usual, to lots of interesting language and messy, delightful, imperfect spoken conversational English.
And if what you hear from Mary about my Pronunciation for Teachers course makes you curious, be sure to contact me ASAP. The course is offered twice a year. Learn more about it here: Pronunciation for Teachers.
