Internships are an integral part of the TESL program. They are an opportunity to learn through doing, make connections with others in the field, and put the theory learned in class into actual practice. The internships may represent one's first foray into actual teaching in front of students. They can be all at once exciting, terrifying, challenging, and rewarding.
In this episode, we are joined by 4 amazing B.Ed. students to have a candid conversation all about their diverse internship experiences. They talk about the highs, the lows, what they wish they knew before starting out, and what they learned.

Welcome teachers and TESL enthusiasts! This is Talking TESL, the official podcast of the TESL Resource Centre at Concordia University, based in Montreal, Canada. We feature interviews with ESL learners, teachers, specialists, and B.Ed. students in the TESL program at ConU. Our aim is to highlight different voices in the TESL community so we can broaden our horizons in the field and learn from everyone's unique experiences. We also strive to support B.Ed. students while in the program and transitioning into the workforce through the stories of current students and graduates.
