Ep172. Translators and Interpreters: What Teachers Can Learn


Listen Later

What if language teachers thought like translators and interpreters? In this episode, we explore the hidden parallels between teaching, translating, and interpreting—revealing why great educators are not just instructors, but mediators of meaning. From listening beyond words to managing ambiguity, ethics, and emotional labor, this conversation reframes classroom communication through a powerful professional lens. Whether you teach beginners or advanced learners, this episode will challenge how you correct, listen, and understand student language—and why accuracy alone has never been the goal.
