You got Band 7 in IELTS Writing.
So why did your first uni essay come back covered in red? 😬
Because IELTS and university want two totally different things:
- IELTS = prove your English to an examiner
- University = prove your learning to an expert"In my opinion" doesn't count anymore.
Your lecturer wants to see who you've read, what you understood, and how you argue with evidence.Micky & Ide break down the 3 shifts you HAVE to make — purpose, audience, opinion → evidence — so you don't learn it the hard way.

New episode now live.
This week on TESOL with Micky and Ide, we ask: What kind of English teacher are you becoming?
We discuss TESOL teacher identity, professional communities, institutional pressure, exams, standard English, native speaker norms, wellbeing, and what happens when your teaching values clash with your teaching context.
This one is especially useful if you are a TESOL student, teacher educator, EAP teacher, or thinking about a dissertation topic.
Comment teacher identity under the video if you would like the reflective handout.

We need to talk about the hidden prejudice of "correct English". How has it impacted your use of language? How have others leveraged power over you with their supposedly correctness? Has concern over your correctness made you self-silence?

A lot of teachers use the word 'task' in TBLT, but not everything we call a task really is one. In this episode, we break down the difference between a task and an activity, and why that matters for lesson design. If #TBLT has ever felt vague to you, this will help. Watch now to find out how.
