We CANNOT and DO NOT Control What Students Learn - Bill VanPatten Teacher Talking Time: The Learn YOUR English Podcast

Join our free support group for teachers building their business. 
So many teachers focus on teaching when they should focus on something else. In this episode, we dive into this with the great Bill VanPatten. 
Bill VanPatten is an award-winning scholar and teacher with an international reputation in the fields of second language acquisition and second language teaching. He is a requested speaker at conferences and meetings and over the course of his career he has given over 500 keynote speeches, plenaries, invited talks, and workshops.
We chat with Bill about why:
the majority of teaching is not in accordance with SLA research
Krashen was right
teachers need to get rid of the "Atlas Complex" 
most people don't understand what a communicative classroom means
grammar rules are not psychologically real
many researchers don't want to talk to teachers
understanding how non-college educated L1 speakers process language shows explicit instruction's ineffectiveness 
if learners can do your assignments using AI, the assignment is flawed
