TEFL commute is a podcast for language teachers. It is not about language teaching though inevitably it might crop up. All three of us are avid podcast listeners and like playing around making our own. TEFL commute is meant to be a light-hearted listen aimed at brightening your daily commute to class. Each episode is built a round a topic that you could use in your teaching and the podcast will have page on this site that will link you to articles, questions and resources you can use with your students. You can even get involved by recording your snippet of mp3 for inclusion on a future episode or leaving us a suggestion on this site.
We had fun making and developing the idea so we hope you enjoy the listen.

TEFL Commute S16E02 - Sports
Despite 15 seasons talking of all things ELT, the podcast has never tackled the ELT staple of sport so this episode rectifies that. Ceri, Lindsay and Shaun tackle (see what I did there😉) the topic deciding how sporty they are, and what they love and hate about teaching sports. They also talk about sports words and idioms before unbelievably letting shaun talk about cricket!
