TQ 025 Barry from Canada (Replay)

Barry is new to my university, but he's not new to teaching ESL. He taught at a university in Newfoundland, Canada for many years. He's also a writer and a poet. In this interview we talk about teaching writing and about poetry. Hint: Nancy has simple tastes in poetry (poems that rhyme, for example, by A.E. Housman and Langston Hughes). Barry also tells us about Jeju Island, Korea and a lovely place in Guatemala. Listen for words or phrases you may not know, such as "to fidget", "collocation" and "sink or swim".
