ELT TALK w/Ray J. Broccoli

The topic: Ian Fleming's Dr. No. We introduce the topic.  The show: Paperback Time Podcast. We introduce the show. The hosts: Raymond Broccoli and Soupy Schmidt. We introduce ourselves. 

Please review Episode 19 before listening.

Live, on stage, Raymond and his colleagues Dave Eloy and Emil Bong try to be Perry Como. 

(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. 

Join us for a behind the scenes look at a TESOL affiliate online annual conference with Mathew Ostroskie and Raymond Broccoli. 

We're back from summer vacation and putting the talk back into ELT Talk, with plenty of off-topic tangents and hot takes! Tune in and meet James Campbell, an ESL teacher who carries his homemade computer around in an old typewriter case. 

Teachers sit around a campfire and talk about the Process Approach and Textual Carnivals.

Patrick and I chit-chatted so much before launching into our creative writing topic...it became its own episode. 

The results of my survey are in! We take you live to SLRF 2019.

Wandering through the bookshelves of the Broccoli library, I came across this brown bag session recorded in 2013. I have since reduced my umms, acquired better audio recording technology, and have accumulated further loads of support for my unorthodox claims.

I ask Patrick about his award-winning plagiarism presentation and about what we can do to nip plagiarism in the bud.

The aim of this episode was to talk about this podcast and what it is. It's so meta! Well, it would've been, but we get off topic and into comparing common teaching practices with SLA theory. (Coming soon: the rest of the story: CLT deep dive.)

Dr. Nakatsukasa catches me up on what's been going on in the world of SLRF conferences and SLA theory. 

Award-winning presenter and best-selling author Patrick T. Randolph discusses his Head-to-Toe Method of Associations for Vocabulary Acquisition. It's all about creating neuron connections while making class interesting. Please go to our ELT TALK Facebook group for links, show notes, and more.
