We are delighted to bring you an interview with Dr. Charlie Browne. Charlie works at Meiji Gakuen University in Tokyo. He is a specialist in Vocabulary and Reading research, especially as they apply to online learning, and has written research articles, books, and textbooks about these topics. As well as creating two new corpus-based word lists for second language learners - the New General Service List (NGSL) and the New Academic Word List (NAWL), he has also helped to create a wide variety of free research-based language learning and analysis software and websites.

In today's interview, Matt asks questions to Charlie about the topics mentioned above.

Welcome back to The TEFLology Podcast – A podcast all about teaching English as a foreign language, and related matters.

This is just a quick announcement to let you all know, that for the months of February and March, we'll be taking a short break from podcasting.

This is due to the three of us having some other commitments that need to be focused on during this period.

Since June 2014, when our show first began, we have worked hard, and are proud of the fact, that we have released a new episode every two weeks. So, we hope you don't mind us taking a short break for the next couple months.

We have plenty of interviews lined up for April, such as interviews with Donna Brinton, Diane Larsen-Freeman, and Michael Swan, so we're really looking forward to sharing these with you. As well as our interviews, the three of us will also be back together to talk about different topics related to our field.

In the meantime, you can find our back catalogue on:
