Welcome to the PhonPod Podcast, a podcast about phonology, phonetics and so much more! In this very first episode, my guest is Marc Jones. Marc teaches English at Toyo University. He started teaching in private language schools in 2003 and has taught in several contexts. His interests include listening and phonology, Task-Based Language Teaching, teacher cognition, and duoethnography. He holds a Trinity DipTESOL, MA Applied Linguistics and TESOL and MRes Humanities and Social Science from University of Portsmouth. I first met Marc in a teaching community on Twitter, and we later on became coursemates on the MA Applied Linguistics and TESOL at the University of Portsmouth.
