Reflections about Education

What Has Teaching Ever Taught You?

12 de junho de 2015

It is something of a cliché that the best teachers always learn from their students. It has become a cliché, though, because it is true, or at least it should be true. For example, some of the things I have learned this week include why there isn’t one standard voltage for all of Brazil from...Read More

Three Highlights from IATEFL Manchester Talks and Workshops

23 de maio de 2015

by Teresa Carvalho

While technology has become a powerful tool to share information, talking to people face-to-face still remains unrivalled. Enjoying a meal together or connecting with others through a handshake — or even a few words, creates a synergy that promotes feelings of trust and collaboration; it helps us build stronger relationships and a feeling of belonging....Read More

by Stephen Greene

My name is Stephen Greene. I am a teacher. I live in Curitiba.* I am not a public sector teacher. Compared to them, I have a pretty cushy life. I teach private students and so keep all of the income for myself. I teach in people’s houses, at their place of work, at my house...Read More

Dealing with students feedback

7 de maio de 2015

by Beatriz Meneguetti

It’s funny to think about how the relationship between teachers and students has changed. Some years ago, the teacher would simply tell a student off and then s/she would study harder or so, even parents would support the teacher. Nowadays things are different. Feedback has to be well thought about. Anyway, define what feedback is...Read More

Dear all, this is my second post about my journey to becoming an e-moderator. This time, I’m going to tell you about the time I became an online student myself.

Neuroscience and teaching English?

30 de abril de 2015

by Carol Lethaby

Hello! It’s good to be back after a couple of months (ok, maybe more 😉 ) away from the blog. For the rest of this year, I’d like to consider the role of neuroscience in language learning and teaching. What is neuroscience and how is it interesting to language teachers? Are you interested in how...Read More

Dividir para conquistar?

13 de abril de 2015

by Fabiano Silveira

Recentemente, em minhas aulas na graduação e até com colegas na escola, discutíamos a estrutura escolar que muitas vezes precisamos enfrentar: turmas superlotadas, falta de infraestrutura mínima, salas de aulas precárias, falta de recursos (tecnológicos) etc. Na questão do ensino de língua inglesa, tivemos uma discussão bastante acalorada sobre dividir uma turma em níveis de...Read More

Language as a City

12 de abril de 2015

by Stephen Greene

As anyone who knows me will attest, I have been pretty obsessed recently with mapping the urban linguistic landscape. As often happens, when we find something we are interested in it colours all aspects of our lives. When I first started teaching, many moons ago, I couldn’t watch a film, hear a song or read...Read More
