In this episode, Helen talks to Rose Aylett, who reflects on her 20-year journey in ELT, from teaching and management to training and freelance work. She shares how critical pedagogy, global citizenship, and critical literacy have shaped her practice, and explores the importance of connection, mentorship, and community in professional development. Above all, Rose champions lifelong learning, adventure, and using education to create meaningful change.
Correction: IATEFL Global Issues SIG (GISIG) was 25 years old in 2020 (i.e. the SIG was founded in 1995), not 15 years old, that is one of the birthday celebrations that Rose and Helen discuss at 06:02.
