Global Issues Podcast | Extended Episodes

The Global Issues Podcast – the podcast for critical educators that foregrounds global issues in English as a foreign language education. Each episode we discuss a topic affecting the lives of many teachers and learners around the world – themes that are so often side-lined from our coursebooks and classrooms, but that we think should be brought to our students’ attention, so that they can challenge, amplify and act upon them.

A shorter, public version of the Global Issues Podcast is available here for GISIG non-members. Links to your extended members’ version of each episode (and the accompanying show notes) can be found below.

Being a member of IATEFL has helped me build a network of professional colleagues, develop my knowledge, and also the chance to make my first presentation at an international conference.
