Our host Sahar talks with Vahid and Alina about the concept of free education, who it helps, where the value is, and who benefits. 

• How do you define ‘quality’ in the context of free education for English learners?

• What are the biggest challenges in providing free, quality education to English learners?

• What impact does free quality education have on the lives of English learners and teachers?

These questions and more discussed by three experienced and passionate educators from Iran and Romania.

Sahar explains beautifully in this episode how a recent discussion group on the topic of diet and healthy eating got her reflecting on the topic and resulted in some unexpected learning on her part!

Often one of the best parts of being a teacher is hearing our learners' perspectives on various issues and learning from them! It really is a privilege!

Alina & Fiona discuss Alina's story-telling method of teaching English to young learners.

How can we make sure that we actually enjoy the process of learning and don't just rush to the finish line, beating ourselves with the 'not good enough' stick all the way!?

Alina's method of exploring and absorbing stories while almost learning by accident is a brilliant way of doing just that! I wish I could go back and be a student in her class!! In this podcast episode, she explains how it all works.
