Let's Talk TEFL Information
Gregory Diehl joins the podcast to talk about his new book (Our Global Lingua Franca), which explores the cultural and economic importance of spreading English as a universal language. It's based on his experience having taught in more than a dozen countries and observing the persistent flaws that prevent the majority of learners from developing even conversational English fluency, let alone true fluency.
Gregory V. Diehl is a business and personal development author who writes for deep thinkers unsatisfied with ordinary approaches to important subjects. His work often deconstructs and challenges cultural narratives and practices.
When he’s not writing, he offers alternative education and mentorship informed by his wealth of diverse cultural experience across the globe. He has taught English and trained English teachers in more than a dozen countries around the world and continues to try to improve the English education system where he now lives in Armenia.
