The challenge of developing learner autonomy

17 de novembro de 2014

Robin MacClure starts her article “Unnecessary Parents” by saying that “the ultimate job of parents is to raise kids in a way so that they are not needed. In other words, parents should work themselves out of a job.” Well, I think that also applies to teachers, and especially to language teachers. Our goal should...Read More

How To Flip Your Classroom – My Experience With 4th and 5th Graders

15 de novembro de 2014

by Adir Ferreira

I stopped teaching English classes in 2009. I’d been teaching English for over 18 years and most of my students were elementary school kids (public and private). In that same year I started working online for an American company called Transparent Language, based in Nashua (New Hampshire). At first I wrote for their English, Spanish...Read More

Video genres for the language classroom

9 de novembro de 2014

by Rubens Heredia

Being a bit of a YouTube buff, myself, I’ve always been really keen on using videos with my students. So much interaction and such great ideas can come from just a couple of minutes (or even seconds) of audio-visual input! We often use movie snippets or interviews in order to bring the outside world into...Read More

Spaces for Learning: Agile Learning Spaces

28 de outubro de 2014

by Carla Arena

For the past year I’ve been interested and have intensely studied, researched and explored the Maker Movement. First, just out of curiosity as I was being fed through my Twitter stream (remember I mentioned in other posts how Twitter is still my number one source of inspiration and daily doses of professional development?). The feeling...Read More

More than Words

23 de outubro de 2014

by cecilialemos

More than words (or at least more than a language!) I like to think I am more than a language teacher. Those who know me also know that I don’t say this because I think being a language teacher is a lesser job. Quite the contrary, to tell you the truth. I am very...Read More

The effects of Google Drive on my personal and professional life.

22 de outubro de 2014

by Ana Maria Menezes

I was recently asked about the most innovative educational resource I have found online. After giving it some thought, I could only think of one website, GOOGLE DRIVE. More and more, Google Drive has become part of my daily life; when I organize my thoughts, when I write alone or collaboratively, when I create activities...Read More

Reading Made Easy for Learners

19 de outubro de 2014

by Teresa Carvalho

As a teenager, I read anything I could lay my hands on; that included all sorts of literature: good and bad. It didn’t matter as long as it was an interesting story ( from a young girl’s perspective, I might say). As a young English language learner, I was lucky to study at an English...Read More

Engaging learners (Part 2)

9 de outubro de 2014

by Rubens Heredia

Last month, we looked at personalisation, guided discovery and raising awareness of sub-skills and strategies as ways to promote learner engagement (click here to check it out). Today, I’d like to share some more ideas on this topic, which I consider one of the most important, albeit challenging, in both lesson preparation and delivery. Reacting...Read More

What if I fail?

2 de outubro de 2014

by elainehodgson

As the end of the year approaches, several students, teachers, school managers and parents may be coming to the conclusion that what was done and learnt throughout the year, or the term, was not enough. In other words, some students will fail their courses. And so, what happens next? How to deal with failure? For...Read More
