As part of our birthday celebrations and to tie in with the recent #eltchat on Reading aloud, \u00a0Marisa Constantinides (@Marisa_C<\/a>) \u00a0interviewed Ken Wilson<\/a> \u00a0(@kenwilsonlondon)<\/a>, a well-known ELT author and conference speaker as someone who has been vocal on the topic.\u00a0You might be interested in reading his blog post Reading Aloud is a Complete Waste of Time – Discuss…<\/a>\u00a0too.<\/p>\n

The interview is divided into four parts; in the first two, Ken Wilson talks about reading aloud, and in parts 3 and 4, he talks about motivating students in reading lessons (which was our second #ELTchat topic on our recent #ELTchat).\u00a0Apologies from Marisa for abrupt cut off points; it was all done by You Tube video editor \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
