Anthony Gaughan is a teacher and teacher-trainer with over 25 years of experience working in the corporate, state secondary, higher education, and private adult education sectors. He is a Cambridge English approved Assessor and Main Course Tutor for the CELTA initial teacher training qualification, as well as a Tutor for the DELTA Module 2 and the Trinity Diploma. Together with his then-colleague, Izzy Orde, Anthony first applied Dogme ELT principles to running CELTA courses in 2009, and has been advocating for simplifying initial teacher education ever since.

See his blog "Teacher Training Unplugged."

In this episode, Anthony dives into:

  • how a Japanese balloon pushed him towards Dogme
  • teaching versus teaching-like behaviours
  • transforming CELTA training into unprescribed, dogmatic experiences
  • why he was called irresponsible and dangerous at IATEFL
  • training as a suspension of disbelief
  • debunking myths about beginner students, beginner teachers, and new beginnings
  • Read more about this episode on the LYE blog.
