There isn't one right way to teach English. There are better and worse decisions for the learners in front of you. Our job is to help teachers understand the ideas well enough to make those decisions.
Welcome to TESOL with Micky & Ide, hosted by Dr. Micky Ross (PhD in Education) and Dr. Ide Haghi (PhD in Applied Linguistics) two language teaching experts. The channel includes expert teaching advice, language teaching methods, SLA, and issues in applied linguistics.
What You Will Learn:
- TESOL Methods Explained: Clear breakdowns of methodologies like CLT, TBLT, and CLIL.
- Applied Linguistics Made Practical: We unpack core concepts from theorists.
- Theory to Practice: Turning complex theories into actionable strategies for student-centered, interactive classrooms.
- Language History: Interesting facts about language history that will help you have a strong foundation as a teacher.
Subscribe to TESOL with Micky & Ide for your regular dose of TESOL theory and practice.

You got Band 7 in IELTS Writing.
So why did your first uni essay come back covered in red? 😬
Because IELTS and university want two totally different things:
- IELTS = prove your English to an examiner
- University = prove your learning to an expert"In my opinion" doesn't count anymore.
Your lecturer wants to see who you've read, what you understood, and how you argue with evidence.Micky & Ide break down the 3 shifts you HAVE to make — purpose, audience, opinion → evidence — so you don't learn it the hard way.

New episode now live.
This week on TESOL with Micky and Ide, we ask: What kind of English teacher are you becoming?
We discuss TESOL teacher identity, professional communities, institutional pressure, exams, standard English, native speaker norms, wellbeing, and what happens when your teaching values clash with your teaching context.
This one is especially useful if you are a TESOL student, teacher educator, EAP teacher, or thinking about a dissertation topic.
Comment teacher identity under the video if you would like the reflective handout.

We need to talk about the hidden prejudice of "correct English". How has it impacted your use of language? How have others leveraged power over you with their supposedly correctness? Has concern over your correctness made you self-silence?
