  • Too Tired to Teach? Speaking Confidence, Student Friendships and Exam Prep | S07E20

    Too Tired to Teach? Speaking Confidence, Student Friendships and Exam Prep | S07E20
    6 Nov 2026

    How do you teach when your energy has gone? Can beginners have meaningful conversation lessons? And where do you draw the line when students become friends?

    Join Gav and Em for a practical discussion about teaching and learning English. We explore reliable lessons for exhausting days, supported speaking for beginners and ways to challenge intermediate learners who feel stuck.

    We also discuss friendship and teacher boundaries, put Em on the spot with an unrehearsed IELTS Speaking Part 2 task, and ask whether every conversation lesson needs an explicitly stated outcome. There’s even a goldfish.

  • How Do Teachers Handle Criticism, Tricky Grammar and Lesson Endings? S07E19

    How Do Teachers Handle Criticism, Tricky Grammar and Lesson Endings? S07E19
    23 Oct 2026

    What do we do when feedback stings, a grammar sentence stops us in our tracks or the lesson ends before we've wrapped things up?

    In this episode, we explore three very familiar teaching moments. Gav tends to apologise first when a learner is unhappy, while Em wants to investigate before accepting all the blame. We discuss involving the school and how Gav adjusted a conversational class when one learner wanted more grammar and vocabulary.

    Em shares a Business English negotiation sentence that caught her off guard. We unpack the conditional and discuss the follow-up email that helped her return to the learner's question.

    Finally, we compare organised recaps with positive, confidence-building finishes, including homework, attendance checks and those unexpected spare minutes.

  • How Much Fun Is Too Much in the English Classroom? - S07E02

    How Much Fun Is Too Much in the English Classroom? - S07E02
    23 Oct 2026

    Can an English lesson be too much fun? A classroom game might be exciting for some students and stressful for others. So how do we keep lessons enjoyable while giving everyone time to think and learn?Join us, Gav & Em, as we explore classroom fun, cold coffee, cancelled lessons and the teaching habits we take home with us.Em remembers a lively grammar game that became overwhelming for one learner. We discuss competition, time limits and different learning speeds, plus ways to check whether students remember the language as well as the game.Then Gav introduces Cold Coffee Syndrome: when a student has so much to say during a coffee-shop lesson that their drink goes cold. A speaking success? Possibly. A waste of good coffee? Definitely worth discussing.We also chat about:• Whether English teachers ever switch off from noticing grammar and vocabulary.• How hours of online teaching might affect eye contact, interruptions and everyday conversation.• The mixed feelings behind cancelled lessons, from unexpected free time to guilt and worries about lost income.• Whether jokes about clauses, claws and grammatical tenses work with learners, or mainly entertain their teachers.There’s also a little unfinished business from our previous episode involving the word discover and a helping of humble pie.Whether you teach online, abroad or in a classroom, come and compare notes with us on the everyday realities of teaching and learning English.What about you? Do timed games bring out your competitive side or make you freeze? And how do you really feel when a student cancels?📖 Read the related articles from S07E02:When Classroom Fun Becomes Stress: How to Adapt Fast-Paced TEFL Gameshttps://howtoenglishpod.com/when-classroom-fun-becomes-stress-how-to-adapt-fast-paced-tefl-games-s07e02/How to Run a Conversation Lesson in a Coffee Shop Without Exhausting the Learnerhttps://howtoenglishpod.com/how-to-run-a-conversation-lesson-in-a-coffee-shop-without-exhausting-the-learner-s07e02/How to Use Real-Life English Materials Without Losing Student Interesthttps://howtoenglishpod.com/how-to-use-real-life-english-materials-without-losing-student-interest-s07e02/Online TEFL Communication: Managing Turn-Taking, Eye Contact and Pair Workhttps://howtoenglishpod.com/online-tefl-communication-managing-turn-taking-eye-contact-and-pair-work-s07e02/What Should Freelance English Teachers Do About Cancelled Lessons?https://howtoenglishpod.com/what-should-freelance-english-teachers-do-about-cancelled-lessons-s07e02/Should English Teachers Use Grammar and Vocabulary Jokes in Class?https://howtoenglishpod.com/should-english-teachers-use-grammar-and-vocabulary-jokes-in-class-s07e02/🎧 Explore the episode guide:https://howtoenglishpod.com/episode-guide-s07e02/🌐 Find free teaching resources, lesson downloads and more podcast discussions:https://howtoenglishpod.com/☕ Support the podcast and buy us a hot drink, which we’ll try to finish before it goes cold:https://ko-fi.com/howtoenglishpodMusic: “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Internationalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/#TEFL #TeachingEnglish #HowToEnglish

  • Why Do Students Stop Using Coursebooks? Teaching Lessons, AI & Goodbyes – S07E18

    Why Do Students Stop Using Coursebooks? Teaching Lessons, AI & Goodbyes – S07E18
    9 Oct 2026

    Why do students ask for a coursebook at the start of a course, then a few weeks later ask if they can just talk instead?

    In S07E18 of How to English: Teach & Learn with Gav & Em, we look at why learners can lose interest in coursebooks and how teachers can balance structure with the conversations students actually want.

    We also ask where teachers really learn their best teaching lessons, whether teachers should learn their students’ language and culture before working abroad, how to say goodbye at the end of a course, whether an English teacher needs to be a walking dictionary, and how AI can help teachers and learners without replacing the learning.

  • What to do when a Grammar Lesson Goes Wrong - S07E17

    What to do when a Grammar Lesson Goes Wrong - S07E17
    25 Sep 2026

    What should you do when a grammar lesson starts falling apart? Stick rigidly to your plan, stop and reset, or follow the language your students are actually producing?

    In S07E17 of the How to English TEFL Podcast, Gav and Em discuss the reality of teaching when lessons refuse to behave themselves.

    Em shares a present continuous lesson involving unclear instructions, technical problems, students in different locations and an activity that gradually drifts away from the original plan. This raises a bigger TEFL question: when should teachers stick to their lesson plan, and when is it better to go with the flow?

    They explore emergent language after a student unexpectedly moves the lesson towards the past continuous, how teachers can “park” a useful question without ignoring it, and whether one student’s curiosity should change the direction of the whole class.

    Gav and Em also compare their teaching energy across the week. Is Monday teaching different from Friday teaching? Do teachers correct more when they are fresh? Can being tired sometimes produce a more relaxed, natural classroom?

    Finally, they remember teachers who influenced them years ago. What made those teachers special, and what can reflecting on your own favourite teacher reveal about the teacher you want to become?

    Plus, Gav explains how howtoenglishpod.com is developing into a practical resource bank of TEFL articles, episode guides, teaching ideas and podcast discussions.

    How do you teach English to one-to-one students? And giving private English lessons? - S01E19
    25 Sep 2026
    Why can teaching just one English learner feel more demanding than teaching a whole class? Join us, Gav & Em, as we explore the rewards, challenges and everyday realities of one-to-one English lessons.Private lessons give us space to personalise learning, build confidence and focus on what a student really needs. They also require plenty of energy, quick thinking and a working relationship that suits both people!We discuss:🔹 Why one-to-one lessons can feel so intense🔹 Whether silent exercises belong in paid lesson time or at home🔹 How to agree realistic homework and course expectations🔹 Who should lead: the teacher or the learner?🔹 How to build rapport while keeping professional boundaries🔹 Why thinking time matters in conversation lessons🔹 How to correct and upgrade language without stopping every sentence🔹 Why learners should ask their teacher questions too🔹 How to adapt coursebooks and pair work for individual lessonsWe agree on the importance of understanding the learner, but we don’t always agree on how to use lesson time! Em usually saves independent exercises for homework, while Gav sees a place for short writing tasks with immediate feedback.Em also shares her one-to-one teaching poem, capturing the hidden effort behind keeping a conversation lesson going.

    How Should English Teachers Check Answers, Pronounce Names & Stay Motivated? | TEFL Tips – S07E16
    11 Sep 2026
    Why are your students learning English? How should teachers check answers without wasting lesson time? And what should you do when you have no idea how to pronounce a new student’s name?In S07E16 of the How to English TEFL Podcast, Gav and Em explore everyday questions English teachers face.They begin with one deceptively simple word: why? Why do we teach? Why are our students in the lesson? And why is it worth revisiting their goals as a course develops?Drawing on their TEFL experience, Gav and Em discuss what keeps them teaching: language, flexibility, career opportunities and helping learners communicate.Then comes email and admin: homework, timetable changes, cancellations, new classes and those messages sent five minutes before the lesson.They also tackle student names. Should teachers research pronunciation before the first lesson? What happens when the same name is pronounced differently in different countries?Finally, Gav and Em disagree rather spectacularly about checking students’ answers. Should learners compare answers in pairs before whole-class feedback? If everyone already has the correct answers, is checking them again useful confidence-building — or a waste of lesson time?Along the way, they share practical techniques including peer checking, student nomination, varying who answers, testing what learners remember and personalising answers.Whether you teach TEFL, ESL, EFL, Business English or general English, this episode offers practical classroom ideas — and proof that experienced teachers don’t always agree on the “right” way to do things.EPISODE GUIDE + TEACHING RESOURCESEpisode guide:https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/episode-guide-how-should-english-teachers-check-answers-pronounce-names-stay-motivated-tefl-tips-s07e16/How Often Should TEFL Teachers Revisit Learners’ Goals?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/how-often-should-tefl-teachers-revisit-learners-goals-s07e16/Is TEFL a Good Long-Term Career?
