Classroom Experiences

Images and real materials

21 de setembro de 2014

We are constantly becoming more and more visual. Our social media communication includes sharing images. We share pictures, we comment on pictures, we like pictures. It’s all very simple and immediate. Using picture books with small children is a way in which they can use simple language communication skills. They can simply like, share and...Read More

To Sir, with Love

18 de setembro de 2014

by Teresa Carvalho

‘To Sir, with Love‘ was perhaps the most watched and the most loved movie in my teenage years. The East London high school teacher who gave up on the school textbooks to teach his rowdy, disruptive students about life, was every teenage kid’s hero. I’ve just come across the website below, which offers a glimpse...Read More

The Olympic Games are coming!

8 de setembro de 2014

by Ana Beatriz Medeiros de Sousa

The 9th grade students at Colégio A. Liessin recently had a lesson to revise parts of the body. Students were familiar with most of the words as they start learning them in kindergarten through the famous song “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”. Our challenge was to find a way to make students practise vocabulary already...Read More

Just a minute, let me think!

by elainehodgson

Just a minute, let me think![1] The first decision I had to make regarding this post was if I wanted to write in Portuguese or in English. That was because it is based on a three-question survey I conducted with my last year high school students (3o ano do Ensino Médio) where I work...Read More

The Dangerous Trap of Questions in the Classroom

29 de agosto de 2014

by Carla Arena

I´m a mother of teens. As a mother, it is almost unavoidable to ask too many questions, and to my despair getting monosyllabic answers. The story goes more or less like this, “So how was school today?” “OK”. And sometimes the most I can get is, “boring as always”. Well, being a teacher, this questioning...Read More

Shameful experiences: do you contribute to the transmission of shame in class?

27 de agosto de 2014

by Laura Miccoli

Hi everyone! This month I address a difficult topic – shame. Shame is a tabooed emotion. Yet, teachers and students commonly mention shame and shameful experiences. For teachers, the question is: do you contribute to the transmission of shame? Can we experience healthier teacher-student interaction: one marked by dignity rather than shame? Shame is painful...Read More

Storytelling vs. Reading to oneself

21 de agosto de 2014

by Thalya Goldfeld

Many times when hearing story, students will not understand every word being spoken. Many times students can deduce the meaning from the context of the story. They might ask about a word, or a phrase in order to understand the situation presented in the storyline. Sometimes it’s necessary to adapt language in order to be...Read More

Revisiting ELT Mantras #6: Reading aloud

14 de agosto de 2014

by Damian Willians

Picture the scene: There I was, a shy 13-year-old boy, dressed in an itchy, ill-fitting school uniform in the middle of a German language class. Our teacher, Mrs. Dawson, a strict woman who ruled the classroom with an iron fist, is going round the class calling out people to read chunks of a text out...Read More

The hazy line between lexis and grammar

11 de agosto de 2014

by Luis Otávio Barros

This post is a short account of two lessons I taught in 2002 which helped me to make sense of something I’d read about in the late 90s, but couldn’t get my head around. Not until then anyway. If you’ve been following me for some time, you know that I’m a big believer in experiential...Read More
