Brazil’s Economy and the EFL Market: What is Coming Next?

4 de março de 2015

Last week’s cover of The Economist was “Brazil’s Quagmire” in which our economy is believed to be in its worst mess since the early 1990s with far bigger problems than the government will admit or investors seem to register. Our currency has fallen 30% against the dollar since 2013 and inflation is rising. So it...Read More

Did you happen to see the story about the leader of the Green Party in the UK? Well, she went to give a live interview on the radio last week to kick off her party’s election campaign. About two minutes into the interview, she was asked a question about her party’s housing policy. Upon which...Read More

by Teresa Carvalho

I’m a teacher and a mentor, which means I’m in charge of in-service training at branch level at a large language institute with around seventy branches spread in my hometown and other capitals in Brazil.

Critical thinking as an antidote to stupid rules

17 de fevereiro de 2015

by Vivian Magalhães

At least once a week, I have to go to the post office to mail books people order through my website. I usually go to the same agency, which is actually a privately-owned postal franchise, near my house. This month, however, I was on vacation away from home, so I had to go to a...Read More

Learning a Language is a lot Like Running a Marathon

12 de fevereiro de 2015

by Stephen Greene

We’re half way through February (already!) and all of those New Year’s resolutions you set yourself probably fell by the road side a long time ago. If you’re still following them, congratulations! Maybe this is the year that you actually follow through on a promise to yourself. It wasn’t exactly a New Year’s Resolution for...Read More

HOMEWORK: FRIEND OR FOE?

by Roseli Serra

February has come and we are all back to school again. So let’s talk about homework? For some years I have observed that a certain number of teachers have had difficulties setting and correcting homework for several reasons, from time management to lack of interest on the part of the SS.

Seeking continuous development (part 1)

by Rubens Heredia

February is a great opportunity for us to finally get down to implementing our New Year resolutions, isn’t it? It is only natural that we take this time to revisit our professional life and make important decisions to develop professionally and avoid the tantalising stagnation of our comfort zone.

The beginning of a new academic year

7 de fevereiro de 2015

by Beatriz Meneguetti

Holidays are over, preparation has already taken place so now it’s time to get into teaching! When the year comes to an end we think back and realise our work was done and a rest is deserved. Soon we start longing for the new groups, the new materials, the planning… I believe students never realise...Read More

Teaching and the myth of working for love

2 de fevereiro de 2015

by elainehodgson

Myths and stereotypes are inherent to a number of professions: the ignorant model, the cunning lawyer, the rude military officer, the sexy nurse, just to name a few. Intertwined with prejudice and/or limited, erroneous views, these myths and stereotypes very often cause discomfort and raise discussion. Teaching is no exception to that. Which stereotypes are...Read More

What will your verse be?

21 de janeiro de 2015

by Henrick Oprea

Education has become a trending topic. Actually, it’s always been an interest – even if it’s just a vested interest – for pretty much everyone I know. Deep down, we know that it defines a lot of who we are and we hold education accountable for our accomplishments in life. It is what increases our...Read More
