The latest episode of our podcast for English teachers and B2+ students is now live! It’s part of a new series of book club episodes in which we discuss a short story. This episode we discuss The Landlady by Roald Dahl. We recommend that you read the story before you listen.

I love teaching this story. The British Council (Teaching English) webpage has a very thorough lesson plan on it with pre-work and extra bonus after reading work. I almost have the whole story memorized since I’ve taught it so many times. It was nice to hear your input as well – but I’d recommend checking out that lesson plan for more fun stuff.
Brilliant! Thanks for the heads up, I’ll check it out.
Thanks Tim!
I’ve also been using this story for years and this podcast is a nice addition to the lessons/material. Great story to teach, and you can really engage the student’s creativity by having them write a ‘what if’ or a ‘follow-up’.
