How many languages do you need to speak to be an effective teacher-trainer? Is it important to know the majority language of the country if you're an English teacher? What do you do if you're giving a workshop and the electricity gives out suddenly? Today you have the opportunity to find out something you may never before have heard: What makes a good trainer? Why did your school hire that person and not the other? Why did I resonate with what he says instead of the person I listened to last week? Why do I feel on fire when she comes to my school instead of last year's trainer? We're going to learn a lot about what makes Nina the incredible teacher-trainer that she is - how publishing, volunteering, and breathing in the salt of the sea as often as possible, is essential to her educational vision. Join us now for a breathtaking journey through Canada, Greece, Spain, and most of the rest of the world, as Nina tells us about her journeys and her joys that she passes on to all of the participants in every single session she gives. Activities to use this podcast in your classes: Nina talks about having to suddenly change all of her presentation because of power-outages. Ask your students to work in groups and list EVERYTHING they do in a 24-hour period that involves electricity (or a battery-powered device that depends on recharging with electricity). Next, they write alternative ways of carrying out each of those items without electricity. Groups exchange lists, eliminate duplicate, carry out a class discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of electricity and. our dependency on it. Nina's childhood was filled with different accents and cultures. In groups, students make lists of people they've met from other cultures and/or countries. They include emotions they have had about those people - whether positive or negative, why they had these strong emotions - either because of the clothes those people wore, their accent, the way they operated that was different from the majority culture, anger that might have been caused by simple misunderstandings of common ways to communicate, etc. Lead a classroom discussion on how respect for other people's belief, cultures and customs on a small scale - in a classroom, neighbourhood and country, might change global conflicts. Another strategy Jennifer shares is to identify social, physical and cultural cues that are similar or different from the readers. Outside of class, students read the class text/book and take notes on these three elements of the ma in character/s in relation to themselves. In class, students work in groups, share notes, and make a list of similarities and differences of the main characters, using names (or not) of specific students.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
