Relationships with Materials (with Rod Bolitho)

TEFL Training Institute Podcast

Author and teacher trainer Rod Bolitho joins me to talk about the relationships between teachers, students and materials, how materials relate to syllabi and how teachers should use teachers’ guides. Rod Bolitho is a freelance ELT trainer and consultant. He was previously Academic Director at Norwich Institute for Language Education and was also lead consultant on projects in Romania, Russia and Belarus where he trained teams of local teachers as authors of new series of textbooks for state schools. Rod has co-authored books, including Discover English (with Brian Tomlinson), Trainer Development (with Tony Wright), Continuing Professional Development (with Amol Padwad), The Internationalisation of Ukrainian Universities (with Richard West) and most recently Language Education in a Changing World: Challenges and Opportunities (with Richard Rossner).
