Are boys better than girls at science and mathematics?

4 de dezembro de 2015

Sorry, I haven’t posted a blog for a while – I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone by. In this post I want to return to the theme of supposed sex differences between how and what children learn and look at the other side of the coin. If girls are supposedly better than...Read More

Leading a group of learners

30 de novembro de 2015

by Marcela Cintra

I’m very fond of anecdotes, so here’s one of my favourite teaching moments: fifteen years ago, a young student told me that there were men, women, children and teachers in the world, setting us apart from the other members of society. Little did I know then what she meant. We are all humans, but if...Read More

I Want An Alien For Christmas! An Alien English Speaker!

24 de novembro de 2015

by Adriano Zanetti

I have recently embarked on a little adventure of leaving my language-centre-teaching comfort zone and teaching regular schools in the State Public School System. Little did I know how much ground one still needs to cover when facing such challenge. Especially, when you hear the utterances that give this text its very title. I have...Read More

5 fenômenos que afetam sua fluência

22 de novembro de 2015

by Marcelo de Cristo

Todo estudante de língua estrangeira sonha com o tempo em que estará falando “fluentemente” o idioma escolhido. Dentre os principais mitos citados no artigo 7 conceitos de fluência e o que você deveria saber a respeito dela, um dos mais frequentes é o de que ser fluente significa falar sem pausas. E não é pra...Read More

What culture do you want in your classes?

18 de novembro de 2015

by Teresa Carvalho

“In the dyad ‘language and culture,’ language is not a bunch of arbitrary linguistic forms applied to a cultural reality that can be found outside of language, in the real world.” Without language and other symbolic systems, the habits, beliefs, institutions, and monuments that we call culture would be just observable realities, not cultural phenomena....Read More

A Great British Teacher

12 de novembro de 2015

by Stephen Greene

A true story… 10pm last Monday. I was just finishing off a 2-hour class with 4 students when one of them says ‘You are a great teacher!’ Despite my ego being suitably massaged I want more. It is, after all, late on a Monday night after I have been teaching from 7am. So I ask...Read More

Dictionaries are a teacher’s best friend!

12 de novembro de 2015

by Natália Guerreiro

Once upon a time, a colleague entered the teachers’ lounge with a vocabulary question. Nobody could think of the answer, myself included, so I took the Oxford Collocations Dictionary off the shelf. I knew it was a long shot, as hers was not a collocation-related question, but by looking up the mysterious word’s common collocates,...Read More

Tips for teaching Teens

9 de novembro de 2015

by Rubens Heredia

Teenagers are and will always be a strong presence in the ELT classroom, be it in the school system or in language institutes. However, they end up being the middle children of the English teaching world. A lot has been written about teaching adults and children, but I find it really hard to find materials...Read More

Stepping in!

7 de novembro de 2015

by Beatriz Meneguetti

I had to substitute for a teacher who was going to attend a two-day course and this whole event triggered my thoughts. Well, how odd is it for a teacher to teach new very young learners’ groups in the end of the year? There are many issues to consider. From the perspective of the substitute...Read More
