2019/06/27

In this episode, I speak to Marek Kiczkowiak, Ph.D. who is the founder of TEFL Equity Advocates and Academy. Marek is something like Martin Luther King of English Language Teaching. Essentially, he strives to obliterate the so-called "native speaker bias". In other words, he is fighting for the rights of non-native English teachers. He does that by researching this topic academically and finding some very compelling evidence. You can get a taste of his arguments in this episode. As you all know,

Louise passionately describes her adventures working in different countries, compares the mentality of the learners, and adds a few anecdotes including how she ended up settling down in Romania. We also talk about English banter and how non-British people find it difficult to get

Do you remember Clare without "i"? She has featured on ZEP several times before. I wanted to give you a taste of her new podcast "It's Not That Deep" so I came up with an idea. Essentially, I took 10 minutes from one of her episodes and decided to pick apart the language for you with a special emphasis on pronunciation. If you like Doctor Who, then you will be pleased to hear that the chosen episode from Not That Deep podcast is about this popular British TV show. As for the pronunciation analysis,

2019/05/28

This episode was recorded during class while playing a game where we ask each other simple questions. The episode features a lot of guests so there some talking over each other, butr generally speaking it should be well understood. The tone is very light-hearted. I also have one important disclaimer. during the episode, one of the students keeps mentioning probably the most atrocious man in the history of mankind Hitler in a slightly joking way. I know this is not a laughing matter, but there is a

This episode was supposed to be published for patrons only, but I changed my mind about it because it is too funny and cool to have only a few people listen to it. Why was Rubick almost arrested in his week in the Czech Republic? What is Salem's superpower? How did Rami lose 40 kilos in 2 years? What do the guys think of each another? Which one of them has anger issues? Which one is a history freak? Listen to this episode to out.

Phonetics and this sound in particular is something I have been interested in for a while and I am delighted to talk about it here on ZEP. I will present to you a lot of examples of words (and sometimes not just words) where this sound appears in English language and also as a bonus I will do some tongue

It's been a while since I had another podcaster on my podcast.
