Welcome to Season 2 of the EPIC podcast. We open this season with a chat with Dr. Beatrix Price from Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. Based on her recently published study entitled: Collaboration at the Core: Understanding Professional Development and Learning in English Language Teacher Associations (which can be found in the journal Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching) we discuss the importance of teacher collaborations as the basis for professional development and teacher well-being, and the role of teacher organizations in supporting communities of practice. I feel this is a great way to start the year off with a reminder that in our country we have a wonderful teachers’ association in H-INET, which not only serves as a professional development home for teachers of EPIC here in Israel, but also sponsors this podcast series.
