Episode 61: Developod Episode 61 - Becoming a Teacher-Researcher by asking questions in ELT with Chiara Bruzzano
In this episode, Helen and Chiara Bruzzano talk about her professional development journey, her work in teacher education, writing, and research, those who impacted her CPD, and the role of research in ELT and the importance of its accessibility. She points out that teachers are the experts in and know what’s best for their own context, and talks about keeping academic research accessible to ensure it isn’t overly-complex or opaque. She shares how ELT has changed over the 13 years she’s been immersed in the work, and how she’s witnessed a shift in nativespeakerism. She shares her passion for her freelance LanguageED work and pursuing her PhD research into the role of standardised tests and their impact on communities such as refugees, asylum seekers, and forced migrants. She wants teachers to always ask “the big questions” because they/you have the power and are the experts.LanguagEd blog: https://languaged.org/blog LanguagEd YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@languaged Modern English Teacher blog: https://www.modernenglishteacher.com/blog-by-chiara-bruzzano?page=1 Sign up link for Chiara’s newsletter: http://eepurl.com/ha8EaResearch project for the British Council: https://forcedmigrantsielts.weebly.com/Chiara’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chiarabruzzano/Also, feel free to get in touch via email: [email protected] Chiara reached out to us at Developod after listening to Episode 56 “Becoming a Humanistic Teacher Trainer with Rachel Tsateri”, and from that email and written discussion came this episode!If YOU want to talk to us about Developod, email: [email protected] To find the complete archive of Developod episodes, go to tdsig.org/developod-tdsigs-podcast
