What do we do?
We are an independent media company with a passion for bite-sized learning for English Language educators. We know how busy you are - that's why our content is short, practical, and fun to inspire you on your learning journey.
What do we care about?
1. We are for educators.
Our mission is to support teacher development by providing information, ideas and tips on popular topics related to Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, hence the name TESOL Pop.
2. We are bite-sized.
We know how busy a teaching schedule can be. That’s why we keep our podcast episodes under 15 minutes and our blog articles around a thousand words so you can fit it into your commute to work or coffee break.
3. We are independent.
We exist thanks to folk who volunteer their time and expertise; this includes our podcast guests as well as our community of creators.
4. We love to chat.
We believe everyone has great ideas worth sharing. This is why we love to chat to teachers, trainers, journalists, authors, business owners, EdTech developers and more to create a virtual staff room full of ideas that you can take away and try.
5. We're about community.
TESOL Pop has grown significantly since the first episode aired in April 2018 and this is all thanks to the support of our listeners who follow, share and support us through donations.
