I have already been to quite a few conferences and I have been going to IATEFL conferences for the past three years and it’s high time I wrote a post about my experiences both as a delegate and as a speaker.

What a lead-in should and should not be

8 de abril de 2015

by Isabela Villas Boas

I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to observe around ten teachers each semester. These observations provide me with the chance to assess how effective our mentoring system and teacher induction sessions have been, as I typically observe teachers in their second semester at the institution. Methodologically speaking, most of the classes I observe...Read More

IATEFL and the Green-Eyed Monster

12 de março de 2015

by Stephen Greene

Jealousy, it’s a terrible emotion but one we are all familiar with, and perhaps even a humanity defining one. That the green-eyed monster often should rear its ugly head when we see the rich and famous gallivanting around in their Lear jets sporting their expensive Apple watches is one thing. But it is worse, and...Read More

What Is Reflective Teaching And Why Is It Important?

11 de março de 2015

by Roseli Serra

“Teachers are the busiest professionals on Earth”. “Teachers never stop working”. How many times have you heard statements like those above? I bet many times. And how many times have you stopped to reflect upon your teaching practice? Have you ever done it? How? What was the last time you’ve been observed? What was the...Read More

Are there “weak” students?

8 de março de 2015

by Isabela Villas Boas

In my last post, I referred to Carol Dweck’s book Mindset – How you can Fulfill Your Potential to invite teachers to focus on a growth mindset in 2015 and stay away from ideas and practices that only help perpetuate a fixed mindset. My focus last month, thus, was on teachers themselves and how their...Read More

The blue and gold of Reflective Teaching

5 de março de 2015

by Natália Guerreiro

A week ago the internet went crazy over a dress on a hanger. “What colors is this dress?”, people just had to know. Many people saw it like I did, white and gold. Others saw it as blue and black. Both camps came up with theories to justify not only that they were right but,...Read More

Quality – From LOS To CPD

In defence of coursebooks

14 de fevereiro de 2015

by Damian Willians

Good morning. My name’s Damian and I like coursebooks. I’ve liked them for about 20 years now. Coursebooks are a funny beast in our profession. They seem to take a lot of flack from various sectors of the industry, yet they are – and continue to be – all pervasive. Whatever your connection with ELT,...Read More
