In this episode, we dive into Sanaz Toosie’s powerful play English and its thought-provoking exploration of language, identity, and belonging. Set in an Iranian TOEFL prep class, the play captures the struggles and aspirations of students navigating the complexities of English as a second language.

We discuss themes of anxiety, accents, and the pressure to conform, alongside groundbreaking AI tools like SpeechRater that celebrate diversity in communication. Learn how technology is reshaping language learning, empowering students to embrace their unique voices while excelling in tests like the TOEFL.

Join us as we uncover how English and innovations in education are working toward a world where language is a bridge, not a barrier, and individuality is celebrated, not erased.
