Welcome to ESL talk! A podcast for English Teachers, by English Teachers.

In this episode, we explore the power of teacher talk as a strategy for improving students' vocabulary, particularly in the context of academic language development. Despite the fact that many students can quickly master social language, research shows that it can take seven years or longer to acquire academic language, which is essential for college and career readiness. Our guest experts share effective strategies for using teacher talk to support academic language development, discuss common challenges and misconceptions, and offer examples of success stories. Whether you're an educator or simply interested in language learning, you won't want to miss this insightful and informative discussion.
