What I’ve learned about learning from others

9 de setembro de 2016

Not surprisingly, the most important lessons I’ve had on teaching came from people, not books, but it wasn’t an easy process and I’d like to share some of lessons I’ve learnt from learning with others....Read More

/s/ and /z/: pronunciation for teachers

6 de setembro de 2016

by Ricardo Barros

For a very long time, I thought my pronunciation was very good. Teachers and colleagues had told me so, and because of that I rarely ever gave it much attention. I was more worried about learning vocabulary or grammar. Naturally, my pronunciation was (and still is) far from perfect, but it took me time to...Read More

by Marcela Cintra

Teaching (in general) is an activity that dates back a long while ago. Books haven’t replaced us, neither will technology. At least not unless...Read More

Errors as Pedagogical Resource

27 de agosto de 2016

by Laura Miccoli

Hi Everyone! Let’s start talking about errors. Teachers usually see students’ errors as negative – as something to do away with. Not seeing them as a hint to the way learners make sense of the foreign language limits the teachers’ possibility of helping students and their own opportunity to learn from errors to overcome them....Read More

19 de agosto de 2016

by Higor Cavalcante

I am now on a plane on my way to Natal-RN, where I’ll participate tomorrow in BRAZ-TESOL Rio Grande do Norte’s symposium, and I took this time to write this… ‘comeback post’, after a pretty long hiatus. Many months ago, I wrote a post on lesson observation here, and have owed the blog readers a...Read More
