Should presentations in Portuguese be allowed in ELT Conferences in Brazil?

5 de julho de 2018

by Natália Guerreiro

There’s a woman with a standing microphone next to a wooden stool on a stage. She speaks for about an hour and the paying audience laughs every now and then. What is this? It’s a stand-up comedy. Or maybe it isn’t. Oftentimes, when we are working on skills in a language class, we treat genres...Read More

25 de junho de 2018

by Catarina Pontes

An unsuccessful lesson observation. A promotion you didn’t get. An opportunity you were not offered. I believe everyone I know has been through a tough professional moment at some point in their career.

The School of the 21st Century

6 de junho de 2018

by Eduardo Trindade

Just like many readers of this blog, I was born and raised in the pre Google era. Actually, I am not sure there really is such a historical division, but I truly recommend one for those studying history.
