How do you help your learners become better readers? This morning I spoke with Sandy Millin about what successful readers do and how we can better support our learners. Sandy has wide-ranging experience as a teacher trainer, a CELTA trainer, a DipTESOL tutor, and working with teachers from around the world on many different projects and through many different platforms. She is passionate about CPD and has some strong views about how we need to provide better training for newly trained teachers, particularly when teaching skills such as Reading. Sandy is an IATEFL Ambassador, runs her own Delta Module 1 and Module 3 courses and offers consultancy and bespoke workshops and training courses. She writes materials for methodology courses and English for teachers and volunteers on the IATEFL Materials Writing Special Interest Group (MaWSIG) committee. She regularly runs workshops and presents at conferences, both online and face-to-face.
In this Sponge Chat, I had the chance to sit a talk with ELT powerhouse, Sandy Millin. We spoke about loads of stuff - from teacher training to management. I hope you enjoy!
