What better place to start than the new Pearson English Podcast. With new episodes being released each month, we speak with experts and innovators who share their experiences and present their take on new teaching trends.
All episodes of the Pearson English Podcast are packed with actionable insights and tips on how to implement expert advice in your classroom.
Our presenters – Joanna, Patrick and Sam – are all language teaching experts who are constantly looking for ways to help teachers around the world.
So far, we’ve published three episodes. We’ve spoken to Amy Malloy, who gave an introduction to mindfulness in learning. We’ve featured teacher trainer and educational consultant Tim Goodier who talked about mediation: the act of interpreting an authentic material and expressing it in your own way. We’ve also had Martin Bloomfield on the show who talked about his experiences with dyslexia and how it can impact learners.
Our latest episode with Rachael Roberts (about career skills for teenagers) will be available on Monday 30th March.

They cover topics like education and artificial intelligence, game-based learning and assessment without tests. You’ll come to understand the bigger picture of technology’s impact on education.
The website is easy to browse: you can find past episodes by topics or series, from one that focuses on ‘what matters in edtech’ to another that presents leaders in higher education who ‘do things a bit differently’.
