Festival Special - ELT Trends: Past & Future with Pilar Capaul
Feb 04, 2026 Season 3 Episode 1
Macmillan Education

For this Global Teachers' Festival Special, Harry and Will are joined by the British Council and International House's Pilar Capaul.

This episode looks at the role of a trend. While exploring some of today's most talked about subjects, they explore how (and if) discussions being had at conferences and social media transfer to the reality of today's classrooms.

What do you think? Are the conversations really helping the art of teaching progress, or is it contained within a separate arena that doesn't get the space to impact the world for real?

Have a listen and make up your own mind!
