I am thrilled to present to you a sneak peek into my brand new course designed to support international school teachers with English as an additional language (EAL) learners in their classrooms. In this episode, I'm sharing a lesson from the course for free.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with schools across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, supporting their EAL programs and training development. Now, with this course, I'm excited to share my knowledge and insights in a self-study format, making it accessible for teachers and schools looking to elevate their EAL practices.

In this episode, I dive into the theory of comprehensible input, drawing from Stephen Krashen's research. This key concept focuses on providing language learners with input just beyond their current level, emphasising the importance of meaning over form and the natural order of language acquisition. I discuss practical strategies for making teacher talk more comprehensible, including an innovative method using AI transcription software to evaluate and adjust language grading for EAL students. Plus, I offer a special discount for listeners to join the full EAL course, where you can access over 30 comprehensive lessons and an exclusive online community.
