Diary of a Freelance Teacher

12 de dezembro de 2016

Dear Diary, I haven’t written much on here for the last few months. The two main reasons for this are a lack of time and inspiration. The lack of time is never going to change, and I suspect this is the same for most people no matter what job they do, how big or small...Read More

What should come first: CAE or CELTA? A B.A. or improving my language proficiency?

5 de dezembro de 2016

by Natália Guerreiro

I’ll admit to having mixed feelings about this, but I’ve reached that age when I’ve turned into a kind of Agony Aunt to my younger colleagues and friends. The 20-somethings come to me with their career choices and, boy, do they ask difficult questions! Their fork in the road often goes along the lines of,...Read More

1 de dezembro de 2016

by Marcela Cintra

We all start teaching for different reasons and we keep teaching for even more diverse reasons sometimes. Besides, each of us will encounter a unique variety of professionals that will inspire us to be greater and others that may help us question our career choices.

Thirty years in ELT – some thoughts about then and now

29 de outubro de 2016

by Isabela Villas Boas

My passion for English began when I was a child and lived in the U.S. for three years while my parents went to graduate school.

On teacher learning

30 de setembro de 2016

by Marcela Cintra

Today I was very inspired by a group of professionals attending my presentation during the 3rd BT TDSIG one-day seminar and I decided to post my contribution to the blog only after having talked to many of the committed teachers about development. Hall & Simeral (2010), in one of my favourite quotes about teaching, highlight...Read More

The freelance language teacher

27 de setembro de 2016

by Taylor Veigga

A fellow teacher told me about a well-known language institute that started selling a new, faster course. He asked me how I thought he could compete with them. I told them he shouldn’t, they are not his competition. What many teachers do not understand is that when they decide to work as freelance language teachers, they...Read More

What I’ve learned about learning from others

9 de setembro de 2016

by Rubens Heredia

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much we can develop as professionals by being involved in the teaching community. Not surprisingly, the most important lessons I’ve had on teaching came from people, not books, but it wasn’t an easy process and I’d like to share some of lessons I’ve learnt from learning with others....Read More

ELT and technology

30 de agosto de 2016

by Marcela Cintra

I have recently been asked whether I believed technology could replace the teachers in the future. This text is an attempt to summarise my reply and my thoughts on the matter. Teaching (in general) is an activity that dates back a long while ago. Books haven’t replaced us, neither will technology. At least not unless...Read More

Tales of professional development: Mary

26 de agosto de 2016

by Taylor Veigga

Today’s post is going to be a bit different. One of my greatest frustrations in life is that I don’t get to work with children anymore. That’s why I’m going to tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a teacher called Mary. She had a very good job at one of...Read More
