Season 4 | Episode 8
There is room for us: deconstructing native speakerism, leading the discussion
Let’s be clear - the English language can be difficult. Whether it’s on a conversational level, where idioms stalk almost every sentence, or at the academic level. So, imagine navigating English for both casual chats and textbooks when it’s not even your mother tongue?
Cecilia Nobre, grew up in Brazil, absolutely fascinated by language. So, she mastered both conversational and academic English, and has since worked in English universities, and recently, co-authored a book. She’s also taught, of course, in Brazil, England and Türkiye. So we knew we’d have plenty to discuss.
About Cecilia Nobre
Cecilia Nobre surely has as many accolades to her name as any TEFL teacher you can think of. She’s got a PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Warwick, is a CertTESOL and DipTESOL trainer, has over 24 years of teaching experience to her name, is a Hornby scholar and - in case you didn’t know - English isn’t even her first language.
