The EPIC podcast is a series that explores the topic of English language teaching and learning at the tertiary level. Our first two podcasts explored the shift from English for Academic Purposes (EAP) to English for the Purposes of International Communication (EPIC) and different aspects of the CEFR as they relate to the teaching and learning of English in Israel. In today’s podcast we will explore the topic of translingualism as an ideology that impacts English teaching practice in multiple settings with our guest Professor David Schwarzer from Montclair State University in New Jersey, USA.

The EPIC podcast is a series that will explore the topic of English language teaching and learning at the tertiary level in Israel. We will begin with some historical background to situate shift from English for academic purposes to English for the purposes of international communication. Against this backdrop each podcast will focus on a different aspect related to language learning and language learning pedagogy, including topics such as the use of multiple languages in the classroom, reaching and teaching diverse learner populations, the place of AI in language instruction, to name a few. Our topics will be explored by guest experts and practicing teachers from the field.
