Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about giving and receiving feedback. One of the reasons for that was a conversation with my friend Priscila Mateini on receiving negative feedback and dealing with failure.

by Natália Guerreiro

A teacher who is worried about his or her language development has many avenues to pursue, pronunciation being only one of them.
