Welcome to the first EPIC podcast.
We start off our series with a look at the history of the study of English in higher education and how conceptions and practices are changing as a result of internationalisation.
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.
