In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with my wonderful colleague and dear friend Preston Blake Caudle for a deeply honest and refreshing conversation about language education in China. With years of experience in the classroom and a unique perspective shaped by curiosity, courage, and a deep love for meaningful learning, Preston shares what he sees, what he questions, and what he dreams of changing.We explore the rigid structures, the cultural expectations, and the sometimes mechanical approach to teaching English—and contrast it with Preston’s more human-centered philosophy of learning. With warmth, clarity, and just the right touch of challenge, he opens up about the flaws he’s observed, the impact on students, and how we might reimagine language learning as something more alive, relevant, and empowering.This is Part 1 of a powerful two-part series that dares to ask the hard questions and listen with an open heart.So grab a cozy cup of tea, baby, and let’s dive in together. This one’s real, raw, and full of love for the craft of teaching.
