Why native doesn't necessarily mean good teacher. How teachers can overcome accent anxiety and imposter syndrome. What a correct accent is in a globalized world. When English learners should start focusing on pronunciation. Whether you need to learn and use connected speech and how we can learn and teach it. Much more. Jump right in episode 24.
