The 53rd IATEFL experience

4 de abril de 2019

This is, in fact, my first experience at an IATEFL event. I have been to BRAZ-TESOL and BRELT events, however, the IATEFL is quite different.

by Marcela Cintra

One of the current buzz words in education is collaboration. From kindergarten to doctorate learners, many teachers claim to develop collaboration with their groups. I have recently discussed the matter with a group of teachers working in different contexts (language institutes, primary school, undergraduate courses) and the understanding of the concept of collaboration seems blurred at...Read More

Taboo language – Is L1 such a curse?

by Victor Virginio

Trapped in the dark web of technology

19 de março de 2019

Cyberbullying, phishing scams and the typical 419 Nigerian prince scam were among our class topics and we would laugh hard at the absurd grammar errors in the spam email letters. However, I have recently learned that the gross grammar errors and the far-fetched stories featured...Read More

CPD and courses: who, what, when and how much

2 de março de 2019

by elainehodgson

We hear about CPD, the acronym for Continuous Professional Development, all the time. Although CPD is not only about taking courses, they are certainly a prototypical concept and the number of courses aimed at teachers has been increasing steadily, or at least this is the impression I have.

The other day I was talking to an acquaintance who has a kid that goes to a language school to study English.
