About this podcast
The Language Educators' Exchange is a podcast for language enthusiasts and learners of all levels, hosted by Drs. Sarah Albrecht and Aniqa Shah. Every month, we dive into the fascinating world of language teaching and learning, offering expert insights and practical tips from language educators and researchers. Our episodes are packed with the latest techniques in language teaching and ideas for turning research into practice. We invite you to tune in on the 15th of every month to join us for engaging discussions that will enhance your teaching journey and inspire your passion for language education! For the upcoming year, we would love to hear from in-service teachers regarding research-based strategies they use in their language classrooms.
