Using my past experience as a TV producer and recent experience of producing and hosting a podcast, my aim is to create classroom tasks and assignments with relatable 'entertainment value'. From teaching vocabulary or grammar in the form of a TV quiz or game show, or role-playing to working on pronunciation or listening skills in the form of a podcast or an improvised scene from a drama!
