Education
(ATTN: Coarse language alert.) This is the first in a three-part series looking at a longitudinal qualitative study on the effectiveness of a one-on-one language teacher/student "class" collaborating together to make several podcast episodes. In phase 1, the teacher is the host and student is the co-host. In phase 2, which will be looked at next time, the student is the host and will contribute the majority of speaking. There are also other reasons why we have so much teacher talk in the teacher/student podcast excerpts featured in today's ELT Talk episode. For example, there are sessions in which teacher and student listen together to the recordings with a focus on listening comprehension, including gap-fill activities with transcripts. Again, tune in next time for more explanation in Part 2. Please send any comments, questions, or complaints to the ELT Talk Facebook Group. All concerns will be addressed next time.
