Reflections about Education

More than Words

23 de outubro de 2014

More than words (or at least more than a language!) I like to think I am more than a language teacher. Those who know me also know that I don’t say this because I think being a language teacher is a lesser job. Quite the contrary, to tell you the truth. I am very...Read More

The effects of Google Drive on my personal and professional life.

22 de outubro de 2014

by Ana Maria Menezes

I was recently asked about the most innovative educational resource I have found online. After giving it some thought, I could only think of one website, GOOGLE DRIVE. More and more, Google Drive has become part of my daily life; when I organize my thoughts, when I write alone or collaboratively, when I create activities...Read More

Teachers and Grammar

21 de outubro de 2014

by Henrick Oprea

“Over the years, language teachers have alternated between favoring teaching approaches that focus primarily on language use and those that focus on language forms or analysis. The alternation has been due to a fundamental disagreement concerning whether one learns to communicate in a second language by communicating in that language (such as in an immersion...Read More

Attitude regarding students’ work

7 de outubro de 2014

by Beatriz Meneguetti

I got a message one of these days which said “No matter what’s happening. CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY. Don’t focus on what’s wrong. Find something positive in your life!” by Joel Osteen, and that made think about being a teacher and assessing students. We have just had our mid-term tests in the school and that’s...Read More

UNDERSTANDING CRITICAL THINKING IN THE ELT CLASSROOM

4 de outubro de 2014

by Anderson Maia

So what happens to thinking when you attach the word critical to it? Is this another newfangled label that promotes a novel pedagogy or method for purely commercial reasons or other ulterior motivations without substantially affecting learning? Is this label bringing into ELT something extraneous to communication skills, such as political causes and social concerns?...Read More

What if I fail?

2 de outubro de 2014

by elainehodgson

As the end of the year approaches, several students, teachers, school managers and parents may be coming to the conclusion that what was done and learnt throughout the year, or the term, was not enough. In other words, some students will fail their courses. And so, what happens next? How to deal with failure? For...Read More

An A-Z of Dysfunctional ELT: E is for Environment

29 de setembro de 2014

by Dennis Warren

#7: E is for Environment The flames will burn for decades, and humankind will shelter, like moles, in underground complexes waiting for the planet to heal itself after centuries of abuse. None shall dare tread upon the surface of the parched, scorched earth. Humans will survive on fungus and recycled sweat, until conditions are finally...Read More

This course is interactive. Really?

20 de setembro de 2014

by Ana Maria Menezes

E-learning courses are commonly called interactive courses. Many of these courses host presentations and articles online, assign weekly tasks to participants, organize webinars and chats, but are they really interactive? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, I’d like to focus on the second definition “requiriring people to talk with each other or do things together”. This...Read More

To Sir, with Love

18 de setembro de 2014

by Teresa Carvalho

‘To Sir, with Love‘ was perhaps the most watched and the most loved movie in my teenage years. The East London high school teacher who gave up on the school textbooks to teach his rowdy, disruptive students about life, was every teenage kid’s hero. I’ve just come across the website below, which offers a glimpse...Read More
