Description
Welcome teachers and TESL enthusiasts! This is Talking TESL, the official podcast of the TESL Resource Centre at Concordia University, based in Montreal, Canada. We feature interviews with ESL learners, teachers, specialists, and B.Ed. students in the TESL program at ConU. Our aim is to highlight different voices in the TESL community so we can broaden our horizons in the field and learn from everyone's unique experiences. We also strive to support B.Ed. students while in the program and transitioning into the workforce through the stories of current students and graduates.
