ABOUT TEA WITH BVP
Tea with BVP is a weekly call-in show that discusses topics related to second language learning, teaching, and acquisition. It was launched in October 2015 in an effort to accelerate the dissemination of research-supported knowledge and practices that are relevant to language teachers and practitioners. 

The show is distributed online completely free of charge. It is broadcasted live on Mixlr every Thursday at 3pm, and recordings are distributed through iTunes and Soundcloud. We currently use Twitter and a weekly newsletter to interact with our audience between shows.

Currently, the show has been listened to over 175,000 times from listeners in over 100 countries.
