Ken has been in ELT since 1995. A teacher, trainer, and author, he has written or co-written over 20 books, including the recently published Connections 3 coursebooks with Pearson.

In this episode, he dives into the lexical approach, why it never caught on and how teachers can use it in their teaching.

Specifically, we dive into: 

• how ELT has evolved 
• why Michael Lewis was "pissed"
• Dogme ELT & its place
• how teachers can decide which vocabulary to focus on in Dogme /TBLT 
• his CAT framework for Dogme
• the post/no methodology era 
• students making "great mistakes" 
• the Lexical Approach 
• the future of ELT and AI
