Such a wonderful resource to the ESL world
I really enjoy this podcast and everything Brent and Ixchell have to offer to the ESL community. An education field that could be overlooked when integrating technology in the classroom. Very useful and practical advice with technology tools and mixing in interviews from other professionals in the ESL world. I may be a bit biased in this review because my degree has an emphasis in TESOL and this show speaks to my heart. Thank you Brent and Ixchell!
