The next guest is one who probably needs no introduction - Geoff Jordan. Geoff is a polarising figure within ELT, but his perspectives on how ELT is moving forward, and the importance of SLA findings (and how teachers and trainers are not working with these) are important to consider, in my opinion. In this chat, I was lucky enough to have Geoff explain the difference between explicit and implicit knowledge (as well as teaching), and he also identified how both of these link to modern day language teaching - and identified where we might be going wrong!

Geoff, along with Mike Long, wrote and recently published one of the must-reads for teachers, trainers and researchers with ELT - English Language Teaching Now and How It Could Be. You can also find Geoff on his blog Applying TESOL.
