Episode 123: How to Overcome the Pressure of Exam Season with Kate Clifton

EVERYTHING EFL

Well, that's where this episode starts off, anyway.

This week my guest is the wonderful Kate Clifton, from the Kate Languages podcast.

We talk about how to manage expectations from upcoming exam pressures, digress into what to teach that isn't necessarily on the syllabus.

We also take a dive into switching it up in class to keep your learners on their toes and we ping pong a few practical activities and tasks for you to try out in class.
