Episode 76: Is Reading the Best Way to Learn a Language? WIth Olly Richards
Manage episode 325907508 series 2606590
Recorded in lockdown last year, I've been saving this one - Olly Richards is a linguistic powerhouse. What better person to ask about language learning?
Do your students read? Do they dislike reading? Why? Olly gives you real food for thought on this fascinating episode. We covered so much ground. This episode may well change your approach to reading and you may want to give it more priority. But Erin, isn't speaking and listening the best thing to do? Possibly, but this episode will give you a valuable insight into learning through reading, what extensive reading is, and its benefits.
We also discuss the age-old question: do students really need teachers?
This episode is gold. Dive in and be inspired!
