ICEF Podcast: The ELT sector in 2030

Our podcast series continues with a special episode on the future of the English Language Teaching sector.

November is an important marker for many of us in international education. It is when we normally gather in Berlin to meet up with colleagues from around the world.

We had that experience again this year but with a remarkable twist as ICEF Berlin became ICEF Virtual Berlin. As usual, the event featured a full programme of thought leadership seminars and we are adapting one of those for today’s episode. Our host, Craig Riggs, the editor of ICEF Monitor, is joined by a distinguished industry panel as we explore how the ELT sector will continue to take shape in the decade ahead.

You can listen to the episode in the player below, and we encourage you to subscribe via your favourite podcast app in order to receive future episodes automatically.
