Six seasoned English teachers from six different countries found each other on social media and discovered they had something extraordinary in common. They had each developed radically simple, effective methods for teaching English. In 2012, these radical teachers met f2f at the Lydbury English Center in the UK and decided to formalize their affiliation to become Radical English.
Over the past two years we have created a Website, www.radicalenglish.weebly.com, a Facebook page www.facebook.com/radicalenglish2012 and a Twitter account @radicalteachers. Today we are unveiling our new baby, a YouTube channel!
The Radical English YouTube channel is your opportunity to be a fly on the wall and eavesdrop on what Radical Teachers talk about when they are hanging out. October 11 & 12, 2014 five of the original six teachers got together at the English Laboratory in Spain. Someone had the brilliant idea to capture the rich, academic conversation on video. While the resulting clips are not professional videos they showcase some of the best English teaching content you will ever find.
The first segment in our Eavesdrop on Radical Teachers folder is Rita Baker talking about how simple phrasal verbs are once you understand there are only 13 particles that define them. As Rita says, "You have to think of a group of uneducated, illiterate people namely Anglo Saxons - trying to express abstract ideas."
Enjoy!
