In this episode, Helen and Caroline Door talk about her journey from education marketing to teaching English. At the IATEFL 2026 conference in Brighton, she presented on managing young learners’ sensory needs, drawing from personal experiences and research. Caroline highlights the importance of addressing sensory factors like light and temperature to improve learning environments. She emphasises the supportive atmosphere at IATEFL, which helped her overcome initial anxieties. Caroline also discusses the ethical use of AI in education and her interest in peace pedagogy. She encourages others to present at IATEFL and recommends the mentorship programme for first-time speakers.
