Knowing English and Owning it!

🎙️ ESL Talk: Season 9, Episode 6 🎙️

A podcast for English Teachers, by English Teachers.

How do we help our students bridge the gap between knowing English and actually owning it? This week, we're joined by Rachel Tobol, experienced ESL educator and communication coach, for a conversation about confidence, identity, and multilingual language acquisition.

Rachel is a dedicated ESL educator who has spent years working directly with non-native speakers to help them unlock their full potential. Her work centers on the intersection of language learning and psychology, helping students navigate the complex emotional hurdles of fluency, overcome language anxiety, and develop an authentic voice in their second language.

In this episode, Rachel unpacks why so many advanced learners feel like they are just "borrowing" English, how a student's personal identity connects to their language development, and what ESL teachers can do to foster true confidence in the classroom. It's a thoughtful, practical conversation for any educator working to help students move past the textbooks and truly make the English language their own.
