As teachers, how often do we stop to think about what our beliefs are about how we teach and how students learn? In my case, “not very...Read More

Mentoring: As Good as it Gets

17 de novembro de 2014

by Teresa Carvalho

When I started teaching a long time ago, I didn’t have a mentor. I had colleagues and students, and occasionally I would seek help from a more experienced teacher. It was usually a question about the material or language that I couldn’t answer myself. Other than that, I relied pretty much on teachers’ guides even...Read More

Kitten! by Sergey Ivanov CC BY-SA 2.0 This month’s post has nothing to do with kittens, but do we really need an excuse? This month I’m straying from the topic of teaching slightly to look at what happens when we, as teachers, write about our profession. It’s a topic that’s quite close to my...Read More

We need to talk about English

17 de agosto de 2014

by Teresa Carvalho

I’ve recently come across Deena Boraie’s 2013 post on the TESOL webpage in which she lists the latest trends in EFL. Two of these trends immediately caught my eye: Change in the Goal of Teaching English: Our goals are no longer to transform our students into imitations of native speakers, but into “competent English-knowing bilinguals,”...Read More

Great teachers are to be treasured, but how do we recognise them?

2 de agosto de 2014

by elainehodgson

If you were present at the last BRAZ-TESOL National Convention in João Pessoa, you may, just like me, keep going down memory lane and think about the highlights of the conference. For me, one of these highlights, was when the brilliant plenary speaker J. J. Wilson said “Great teachers have to be treasured, not measured.”...Read More

The challenge of being a non-native English speaker in a native English speaking world I recently came across EFL teacher James Taylor’s blog post about NNESTs’ struggle to be respected as English teachers by students and employers. In his guest blog post, James lists a number of advantages of being a NNEST over a...Read More
