an interview with barbara hoskins-sakamoto (podcast)
the lives of teachers
This is a podcast version of the video interview available here.
If you have ever taught children, you may well have come across the ‘Let’s Go!‘ series, now on the third edition and a multimedia behemoth! I met with Barbara, one of the authors, at the ETJ Chubu Expo in October 2009 and she was kind enough to give this interview. She is delightful company and I wish I’d left the camera running because we talked for as long again after I turned it off. She has a lot to say about teaching children and professional development in particular, but we also touched on a few other topics. If you haven’t already, you should check out Barbara’s blog and have a look for her on twitter (@barbsaka ). Being in this part of the world opportunities to meet members of the online ELT community are limited, so it is always especially enjoyable to catch up with someone as lovely as Barbara… even if it is only a few times a year ; D

Great interview, Darren. Barbara is without a doubt one of the loveliest (and brightest) people in TEYL.
Cheers,

I concur. It’s a pleasure to know her…. and for that alone twitter has been worth the entrance fee (yes, it’s free…. but you know what I mean!)
Getting acquainted with Barbara was an honor…she is a great woman.
