Too often, the vocabulary and imagery selected for English Language Learning classes are disconnected from the learners' experiences. Instead of choosing and showing imagery of items from learners' homes, communities, and cultures, images from Western cultures are used. By selecting vocabulary that is a part of learners' everyday lives and pairing it with familiar imagery, teachers connect to their background knowledge and create a foundation to build connections from.

This episode is about why English Language Teachers need TTELT and why ongoing teacher training is so important to maintaining quality teaching around the world.
Through TTELT teachers can benefit from having a network of teachers to work with as they try implementing the ideas they get from the podcast, YouTube channel, and workshops. However, all of these things need funding in order to be sustainable. This is why we urge you to go to https://www.patreon.com/ttelt if you are able to support English language teachers on their journeys to becoming more engaging teachers.
