Your English didn’t vanish on exam day.
It didn’t get worse overnight.
It didn’t betray you.
It was measured under pressure.
In Episodes 178 & 179, I sit down with Nicole Alves for an honest, no-nonsense conversation about international exams — what they actually measure, what they completely miss, and why so many strong learners walk away feeling smaller than they really are.
We talk about:
• exams as snapshots, not definitions
• listening vs reading and why scores don’t always match ability
• the obsession with complexity over control
• why “your score” is often just bad lighting on a good speaker
If you’ve ever felt smarter than your results…
If exams have shaken your confidence…
If you’re a teacher or learner who knows there’s more to language than a number…
🎥 Both parts are now live on YouTube.

Where is AI really taking education? Not the hype — the real shift happening in classrooms, planning rooms, and teacher workflows.
I sat down with Vicky Saumell to unpack how AI is reshaping language teaching, empowering educators, and opening doors we couldn’t even imagine a few years ago.
If you care about the future of teaching — you’ll want to hear this one.
Take a listen to the full episode now. It’s one of the most eye-opening conversations I’ve had.
Episode 92 & 93 of the Languages Pedagogy Poscast.
