Reflections about Education

Who do you teach?

9 de abril de 2015

ELT teachers are used to dealing with different students in the classroom. The literature on dealing with mixed-ability/mixed-level/mixed-age groups is not slim, with numerous articles on the matter having been published. Guaranteeing even participation of learners, however, is an constant challenge. Here are three ideas I try to bear in mind in the lessons I...Read More

by Laura Miccoli

Hi Everyone! Have you had an English teacher who inspired you or your learning? This is the question that Gabriela Cunha and I are posing to Brazilian students of English in public and private schools. The question, originally from the research by Martin Lamb and Martin Wedell (2015)[1] from the University of Leeds, is now...Read More

Tell me know how I’m doing – the importance of feedback in the EFL classroom.

25 de março de 2015

by Catarina Pontes

Students taking a course in a foreign language very frequently bring with them a world of expectations and needs – in both personal and professional contexts – that they want to be met in the classroom. Those expectations and needs, however, can many times be beyond what can be achieved within a semester of studies....Read More

IATEFL and the Green-Eyed Monster

12 de março de 2015

by Stephen Greene

Jealousy, it’s a terrible emotion but one we are all familiar with, and perhaps even a humanity defining one. That the green-eyed monster often should rear its ugly head when we see the rich and famous gallivanting around in their Lear jets sporting their expensive Apple watches is one thing. But it is worse, and...Read More

What Is Reflective Teaching And Why Is It Important?

11 de março de 2015

by Roseli Serra

“Teachers are the busiest professionals on Earth”. “Teachers never stop working”. How many times have you heard statements like those above? I bet many times. And how many times have you stopped to reflect upon your teaching practice? Have you ever done it? How? What was the last time you’ve been observed? What was the...Read More

Are there “weak” students?

8 de março de 2015

by Isabela Villas Boas

In my last post, I referred to Carol Dweck’s book Mindset – How you can Fulfill Your Potential to invite teachers to focus on a growth mindset in 2015 and stay away from ideas and practices that only help perpetuate a fixed mindset. My focus last month, thus, was on teachers themselves and how their...Read More

How much is students’ perception of their own learning accurate?

7 de março de 2015

by Beatriz Meneguetti

It’s not rare to find students who are not demonstrating a high level of achievement and yet think they are doing just fine. Or, conversely, who, despite producing the required level of language for a given stage believes it to be necessary to retake all lessons again to improve more. I thought about this as...Read More

The blue and gold of Reflective Teaching

5 de março de 2015

by Natália Guerreiro

A week ago the internet went crazy over a dress on a hanger. “What colors is this dress?”, people just had to know. Many people saw it like I did, white and gold. Others saw it as blue and black. Both camps came up with theories to justify not only that they were right but,...Read More
