Have a good summer? I hope so.
I just wanted to get back into the swing of blogging again by writing a list of podcasts for English Language Teachers. Be warned, this skews toward higher education and adult learners a lot.
General Language Teaching
TEFLology (disclaimer: the podcasters are my friends and I am a junior coworker of one TEFLologist).
We Teach Languages – A wide variety of topics. Really good interviews with regular teachers.
General Higher Education
Research in Action – sometimes has pedagogy and productivity-relevant topics.
Teaching Higher Ed – lots of generally good pedagogical advice in the episodes I have listened to.
General Linguistics
You will feel very intelligent listening to these because they are very academic but also very accessible.
Lexicon Valley – a bonus here for the use of old Broadway show songs to illustrate linguistic phenomena.
Hi Marc,
I only knew TEFLology before, so thanks for sharing this. Do you know about TEFL commute or the TEFL Training Institute podcast? They’re quite different styles, the first being more for entertainment, and the second more as a jumping off point for thoughts.

Hiya Sandy. Thanks a lot. I often forget about these because they’re a bit less relevant to me in my setting, so thanks for sharing these. They’re probably more useful for teachers early in their career. Cheers!
