Rethinking Education

28 de setembro de 2017

There’s no need to remind you that technology is pervasive in our lives. It’s everywhere. However, my main paradox is that I see my kids going to school and having very little use of it as a tool for development, personal growth and inquiry. It is a huge paradox because for the past decade I’ve...Read More

I have been an English teacher for almost 23 years. I also worked as a pedagogical coordinator at language schools for many years.

Exploratory Practice: “It is an indefinitely sustainable way for classroom language teachers and learners, while getting on with their learning and teaching, to develop their own understandings of life in the language classroom.

It’s almost mid-September! Have you chosen your area(s) for development yet?

10 de setembro de 2017

by Lenora Haranaka

If so, how has it helped you to know your learners better? And furthermore, how has it benefitted your learners’ experience? Going back to the two perspectives explored on my last post (richmondshare.com.br/its-time-to-start-over/), here are some of the choices I have made so far: Leaving our comfort zone I have been working mainly with peer...Read More

Behind the scenes – How to engage students?

8 de setembro de 2017

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

I have already written about ‘motivating adult students’ inside the classroom. However, I would like to go back to that. Before, I focused on more meaningful lessons and working on areas to which students would relate better due to their professional or study choices. Nevertheless, I would like to discuss further how to engage or...Read More

More than a cut above average: a chat with my hairdresser about professional development

by Natália Guerreiro

I had a haircut the other day and got to talking to the hairdresser, an energertic 31-year-old professional who I’ve been going to for a few years now. [Don’t worry, I haven’t gone mad(der) and won’t be rambling on about beauty on a teacher-oriented blog. The relevance of the chat will become evident soon, I...Read More

I plan to address these questions while I share my experience of preparing for the Cambridge English Proficiency (CPE) exam and what happened after passing. Far from being a guide for exam...Read More

22 de agosto de 2017

by Carlos Henrique Trindade

The new world we live in pushes us to unavoidable changes. The dynamism it brings to society forces us to rethink our concepts and how we position ourselves in light of the ever growing challenges we have to face. In this scenario, the school and, more specifically, the teacher is being redefined. But what should...Read More

by Edmilson Chagas

Below is a follow-up to one my post entitled Close Encounters of the Third Kind – Part I”, which went online precisely on March 3, 2016.
