So, I am currently doing double duty. I am trying to get edgycation.org here back in the swing of things, But I am also working on getting edgycation.jp up and running as well. Here is a video that I posted from my Faculty development series for that aspect of the site. I hope you like [...]

Hey all, Those who are subscribed to the feed know that 86 is up and takin out the trash. We spend a little time talking about: Teacher’s Podcast (a little intro with some constructive criticism) Audio Boo (a cool little audio blog-like site) And a great deal more time talking about Pragmatics. The wikipedia article [...]

Not gone, just some growing pains The good news is we aren’t going away. But the production schedule will be a little wonky. That’s what subscriptions are for!! lol Dig in and take a listen. And before you go, don’t forget to leave us a message on MyChingo on the right there, or a comment [...]

Ah, vacation But I’m back and ready to go! 83 has been up for a while, and 84 is up now. Big props to Anthony! You’ll have to listen to the show to find out why Anthony, the Magnet is in the mail. It should arrive very soon. It’s a shorter show this time round, [...]

Ah Yes, Yet another brilliant introduction. (You only have yourselves to blame) Hahaha. Feel free to give us a show opener through the MyChingo over on the side. There are a couple of links to pass along. This one is for the EVO. Here is a link for Net@Night. (Thank you again Amber and Leo) [...]

Show 81 takes a look at using dictionaries in the classroom. When should students use them? what is the best way to use them? What kind of dictionary should you recommend? All this and an incredibly cheesy opening! Wow, a deal at twice the price! Subscribe now! Happy holidays! As always, the feed for the [...]

Good Evening all, Show 80 takes a bit of a look in the mirror and asks “What kind of teacher are you?” To be clear, there can be no right answer for this one, so make sure you can support your answer with examples. Don’t forget to cite your sources By the time you see [...]

Hi all, Thanks for stopping by. (And a huge thank you to Amber and Leo!!!) If you are interested in teaching English, but are not sure what to expect…. I’d recommend a trip to the archives and catch the first couple of shows. We lay out some of the basics of getting into the field [...]
