William Marks
Will Marks is a languages teacher and curriculum lead with over a decade of classroom experience. He began his career teaching in inner-city state schools before moving into curriculum leadership, where he has focused on building clear, sustainable approaches to language teaching and bringing languages beyond the classroom and the department.
He is currently working in the international schools sector in Dubai, where he continues to develop and refine language curricula at the cutting edge of language education. He is also involved in building EdTech platforms for language learning and integrating AI in practical ways to support language learners and teachers. Alongside his school role, Will hosts The Language Lab Podcast, a platform for honest, practical conversations about what works in language teaching today.
The Language Lab Podcast
The Language Lab Podcast is a thoughtful, practical podcast about language education — what works, why it works, and how we make it work better for learners and teachers alike.
Hosted by Will Marks, the show brings together classroom teachers, researchers, school leaders, and edtech builders to explore pedagogy, curriculum design, assessment, inclusion, workload, AI, and the future of languages. Conversations are honest, research-informed, and firmly rooted in real classrooms, from inner-city state schools to international and higher education settings.
Episodes are long-form and reflective, blending evidence with lived experience, fresh ideas with hard-earned wisdom. Expect clarity, curiosity, and a genuine belief that languages matter — and that better practice is built through shared thinking, not quick fixes.
If you care about language learning as a meaningful, human endeavour, this is a space to think, learn, and keep improving together.
Keeping the conversation going.
