The Level Up English Podcast

#251 Is English Education Broken? (Gregory Diehl)


Listen Later

Gregory Diehl is an English teacher and author of the new book: Our Global Lingua Franca: An Educator’s Guide to Spreading English Where EFL Doesn’t Work.

It's a fascinating book looking at Gregory's experience teaching in many countries all around the world from Thailand to Iran, and we talk about this extensively in this episode. 

We talk about why English is so important to learn, Gregory's bad teaching experiences,  the problems with school and teaching English, getting immersion, video games, and how to develop an accent.
