The Apprenticeship of Observation (with Donald Freeman)

Support the podcast: buy me a coffee

Donald Freeman, professor at the University of Michigan, joins me to talk about the how teachers become teachers. Do teachers teach as they were taught? What role does our experience as students play in forming our attitudes about teaching? And how does our experience as language learners and users influence our behavior in the classroom?
