5-minute introduction to Stephen Krashen

I can't think of a better way to spend five minutes on professional development (as an ESOL teacher) than by spending it in the company of Stephen Krashen.

The only problem is that of hyper-choice; there's just so much online by, and about, the man that it is difficult to decide where to begin.

And so - let me decide for you . . .

1. Get a feel for the man from the first one and a half minutes of this 3-part talk:



2. Then, skip ahead to the 5:03 mark (thereby saving over three-and-a-half minutes!) and listen for four more minutes (until 9:10).

Of course, you are free to listen to the entire talk later in your own time!
