Welcome to my podcast: 'John Scott Lawton's English, you know'.

In this rather different episode, I'm interviewed by one of my advanced level students, Mária from Slovakia, about my teaching career and my experiences of living and working in many different countries.

The episode is intended to provide live material for students who want to improve their listening skills by hearing natural dialogues in English; albeit in a question and answer format in an interview situation.

Here, the tables are turned with the student asking the questions of a teacher to elicit honest and considered responses.

I had no idea what questions Mária was going to ask me, so the responses are not prepared or scripted and I give natural, 'off-the-cuff' answers which hopefully will enable listeners to find out something more about my motivations in wanting to teach English, my love of travelling and my opinion on what can be gained from living and working away from your home country.

As a potential trigger issue, we talk about what can be done when you find yourself in a toxic working environment, something which is sadly all too common these days.
