I am Joel Zarate from the Second Language Acquisition Workshop Podcast, and I would love to recommend this podcast. The show is funny, clever, entertaining and informative. Professor Bill VanPatten is, in my opinion, one of the top experts in SLA alongside professor Diane Larsen-Freeman, Stephen Krashen, Rod Ellis, Claire Kramsch, Lourdes Ortega, just to mention some. The format is casual and entertaining, but it is profound on their analysis of the topics in the field of SLA. Professor Bill VanPatten is a strong voice in the field, and it is worth every minute to listen to his vast knowledge and profound understanding of how to bring theory to practice.
I simply and honestly think that this is one of the best podcasts out there to learn more about how we learn languages based on the research in the field of SLA.
