Language Educators Exchange
The Language Educators' Exchange is a podcast for language enthusiasts and learners of all levels, hosted by Drs. Sarah Albrecht and Aniqa Shah. Every month, we dive into the fascinating world of language teaching and learning, offering expert insights and practical tips from language educators and researchers. Our episodes are packed with the latest techniques in language teaching and ideas for turning research into practice. We invite you to tune in on the 15th of every month to join us for engaging discussions that will enhance your teaching journey and inspire your passion for language education! For the upcoming year, we would love to hear from in-service teachers regarding research-based strategies they use in their language classrooms.

Fan Mail
Hello, my name is Gloria and I am a listener of your podcast Language Educators Exchange. I recently heard about your call for guest teacher speakers. Specifically that you are looking to, "focus and looking to highlight the voices of in-service K–12 language teachers—those doing the work every day in classrooms". I am a Bilingual Elementary Education Specialist (Special Ed) going into my third year of teaching. I identify as a culturally and linguistically responsive educator who advocates for students with disabilities (and their families) who are from minoritized communities. I am interested in being a guest speaker to your podcast to talk about how ai combine bilingual practices, with evidence-based practices from SpEd. Thank you, looking forward to hearing from you.
