Menus for a Personalized Learning Experience

28 de janeiro de 2015

I was about to start this post, and had a totally different idea in mind. But then I couldn’t miss sharing with you such interesting, simple and effective idea for the classroom with all resources already there, a click away. I’ve just come across this post “Interactive Learning Menus (Choice Boards) Using Google Docs” , which...Read More

Learning to Learn

18 de janeiro de 2015

by Teresa Carvalho

This month’s post is about different ways of learning, or learning styles, as some authors put it. It’s also about why I believe they exist even when we totally ignore their existence. It is a controversial issue for many teachers, who have mixed feelings about it. Do Learning Styles really exist? Are they just...Read More

Do instructions have to be that dull?

9 de janeiro de 2015

by Rubens Heredia

Instructions are an important part of every teacher’s life. They can either make or break our lessons, getting students in the best mood imaginable or sending them into a downward spiral of discontentment (has anyone ever heard students react with sighs of “reading again?”). How can we guarantee that the second doesn’t happen? Imagine a...Read More

The Only Thing They Have to Fear is Fear Itself

23 de dezembro de 2014

by cecilialemos

Teaching adult beginner groups can be quite challenging, as most teachers (if not all) who have such groups know. Each age group we teach has its specific challenges, and in my experience, when it comes to adult beginners the main challenges are time (they usually have little time to dedicate to English studying other than...Read More

Building Learner autonomy – Part II

17 de dezembro de 2014

by Vivian Magalhães

Last month, I wrote about the need for students to become autonomous learners, and the difficulty that most teachers face in developing such autonomy in them. My students responded very well to the article, admitting that they hadn’t been investing as much time or effort as they should towards their goal of becoming proficient speakers...Read More

Checking up on checking

9 de dezembro de 2014

by Rubens Heredia

Checking exercises is so deeply ingrained in our teaching practice that we seldom give it a thought. Asking students to report back after a small-group activity is also common practice ever since the boom of the communicative approach. But are we making the best use of classroom time or could we just be doing it...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
