Teaching With United For Literacy In Aupaluk: A TESL Student’s Summer In Nunavik — With TESL Student Suzanne Tremonte

In this episode of Talking TESL, we chat with Suzanne Tremonte, a student in the TESL certificate program at Concordia University. Suzanne shares her journey into teaching and her experiences with United for Literacy, a national charitable organization supporting learners across Canada. She reflects on her transformative summer teaching in Aupaluk, a small Inuit community of 200 people in Nunavik, Northern Quebec—an experience that deeply influenced her approach to education.

We explore key topics such as neo-colonialism in TESL, plurilingualism, and the power of gamification in language learning for children.
