How to keep pace with one of the most complex aspects of human behaviour? Taking into consideration that many countries, states,...Read More

I want to talk about Spaced Repetition. What it is, how it applies to language learning and what we can do to cater for it in our teaching. First of all, let me tell you how I normally acquire new vocabulary in Portuguese. I come across an unfamiliar word in a conversation or in a text...Read More

11 de março de 2017

by Roseli Serra

After a year or more, I’m back to blogging. This time I have decided to study and write a little about a subject that is not really comfortable for me to teach and I guess that for lots of my colleagues, it is not easy as well. Let’s then talk about pronunciation regarding the regular...Read More

by Lenora Haranaka

How many of us have heard learners expressing the wish ‘I want to be fluent in English’? But then, what does it mean to be fluent?

English made in Brazil

6 de fevereiro de 2017

by Ricardo Barros

Two things have happened recently that served as inspiration for this post. One of them is the (erroneous) belief that one can only learn a language if his/her teacher is a native speaker.

Errors as Pedagogical Resource

27 de agosto de 2016

by Laura Miccoli

Not seeing them as a hint to the way learners make sense of the foreign language limits the teachers’ possibility of helping students and their own opportunity to learn from errors to overcome them....Read More
