Reflections about Education

Ask not what the internet can do for you

25 de setembro de 2015

When we, English teachers, think of the internet, we often tend to think about what it has to offer: unlimited information at our fingertips, ready-made materials for download, songs with their lyrics, clipart and other graphic resources, teaching ideas, podcasts, videos, tutorials, educational online games and many other resources that were unavailable when most of...Read More

22 de setembro de 2015

by Marcelo de Cristo

No artigo 7 conceitos de fluência e o que você deveria saber a respeito dela, apresentei algumas definições de “fluência” comumente encontradas na internet e procurei mostrar como elas são ainda bastante vagas e controversas (mesmo entre os profissionais da área de idiomas), dando ensejo aos mais diversos usos e abusos do termo pelo mercado....Read More

Teachers as practitioner researchers

18 de setembro de 2015

by Teresa Carvalho

“…and three things really matter: (1) deciding on something that you want to do; (2) that you can do; and (3) that is really worth doing.” —- Keith Richards, Qualitative Enquiry in TESOL (2003) When teachers investigate their own practice through research, they become practitioner researchers. To become a practitioner researcher, we need to nurture...Read More

English Teaching: Recession proof?

12 de setembro de 2015

by Stephen Greene

It’s something I’ve heard from other teachers. It’s something a lot of my non-teaching friends seem to believe. It’s something I’ve even said myself as I am trying to convince myself I am in the right profession: Teaching English is recession proof. In the good times people need English and have the money to spend...Read More

Is CLIL an approach to apply to our EFL lessons?

7 de setembro de 2015

by Beatriz Meneguetti

CLIL is a fairly recent way of teaching.

7 conceitos de fluência e o que você deveria saber a respeito dela

22 de agosto de 2015

by Marcelo de Cristo

No artigo intitulado O que nunca lhe contaram sobre terminar um curso de idiomas em tempo recorde, procurei contextualizar e explicar criticamente o surgimento da necessidade de se falar um idioma “fluentemente” (o mais depressa possível) em decorrência principalmente da mudança de paradigma e das exigências do mercado na sociedade atual. Indo na direção contrária,...Read More

The Exposure Conundrum

21 de agosto de 2015

by Henrick Oprea

I honestly believe that learning a language is a lot closer to learning a musical instrument than it is to preparing for a school exam. I also clearly remember the day that I shared with my guitar instructor that I’d finally bought a case for my guitar – surprisingly, he wasn’t thrilled and simply asked...Read More

Have you ever wondered why English is the way it is?

20 de agosto de 2015

by Teresa Carvalho

“So now you must choose… Are you a child who has not yet become world-weary? Or are you a philosopher who will vow never to become so? To children, the world and everything in it is new, something that gives rise to astonishment. It is not like that for adults. Most adults accept the world...Read More

by Dominic Walters

If you look up the word ´mantra´ in a dictionary, you will probably come across one of two defintions. Firstly, it can be a sacred verbal formula used in Hinduism, which is repeated in prayer or meditation. Or secondly, it is a commonly repeated word or phrase, which often becomes a truism, regardless of its...Read More
