this twenty-fifth episode of ventriloquy is the eighth in a series which records the conversations that my students and i have in class, around the microteaching sessions that i've designed to be part of their postgraduate teacher-training course.
this episode is 81 minutes in duration, so i've split it into two files.
the first part is 8 MB in size, and centres around issues raised by the teacher-trainees after having participated as students between the ages of fourteen and fifteen on the lesson on coffee as a global commodity.
