In this episode, I chat with Christian Saunders from Canguro English about language teaching methods, including:
– Some obscure methods from the 19th century,
– Superstitious pigeons (no, really),
– The problem with testing and why we should burn the exams,
– Whether Dogme is a problem without a solution,
– What we can learn from the ancient Greeks,
… and much, much more.
I really enjoyed this chat, and I hope you do, too.
