Teacher Development

Seeking continuous development (part 1)

9 de fevereiro de 2015

February is a great opportunity for us to finally get down to implementing our New Year resolutions, isn’t it? It is only natural that we take this time to revisit our professional life and make important decisions to develop professionally and avoid the tantalising stagnation of our comfort zone. Yet, many teachers I talk to...Read More

8 de fevereiro de 2015

by Isabela Villas Boas

It’s the beginning of the school year in the Southern Hemisphere and many teachers are starting their teaching career or re-starting in a new school or language institute. My experience as a leader in a large ELT institute that hires around thirty new teachers every semester has shown that there are certain attitudes, dispositions and...Read More

Give it a rest

5 de fevereiro de 2015

by Natália Guerreiro

“Good, better, best, never let it rest, until your good gets better and your better best.” It was the middle of an intensive CELTA and I was exhausted. I still had to put finishing touches on the lesson plan, but I just couldn’t take it any more. I had to sleep. So I set the...Read More

Talking Communicatively

3 de fevereiro de 2015

by Dominic Walters

I was talking to a teacher the other day. He had just completed his CELTA course with a grade B although he had already been teaching for a couple of years beforehand. A nice chap all in all, and very enthusiastic. I am not sure how, but after the initial chit-chat which broke the ice,...Read More

As a new year begins…

1 de fevereiro de 2015

by Michele Schwertner

Dear all, this post was supposed to be published on New Year’s Day and that would make perfect sense. Due to Internet connection issues, I was not able to do so and I also ended up losing part of it… I was about to delete it when I realized every day a new year begins...Read More

Teacher Development 1: Lesson Observation, part 1

29 de janeiro de 2015

by Higor Cavalcante

Happy New Year, everyone! As promised in my December post, this year I’ll be discussing what I believe to be a key issue in ELT, namely teacher development. In no particular order, and evidently not aiming at exhausting the subject – which would be impossible –, I hope to be able to, in twelve posts,...Read More

The necessary balance between theory and practice in Teacher Education

25 de janeiro de 2015

by Vivian Magalhães

The performance of Brazilian students in national and international assessment tests has been consistently low, which has led researchers to look into the reasons for the inefficiency of our educational system. A study conducted by Fundação Carlos Chagas has found that the programs offered by most universities in the area of teacher education do not...Read More

What will your verse be?

21 de janeiro de 2015

by Henrick Oprea

Education has become a trending topic. Actually, it’s always been an interest – even if it’s just a vested interest – for pretty much everyone I know. Deep down, we know that it defines a lot of who we are and we hold education accountable for our accomplishments in life. It is what increases our...Read More

Learning to Learn

18 de janeiro de 2015

by Teresa Carvalho

This month’s post is about different ways of learning, or learning styles, as some authors put it. It’s also about why I believe they exist even when we totally ignore their existence. It is a controversial issue for many teachers, who have mixed feelings about it. Do Learning Styles really exist? Are they just...Read More

Do instructions have to be that dull?

9 de janeiro de 2015

by Rubens Heredia

Instructions are an important part of every teacher’s life. They can either make or break our lessons, getting students in the best mood imaginable or sending them into a downward spiral of discontentment (has anyone ever heard students react with sighs of “reading again?”). How can we guarantee that the second doesn’t happen? Imagine a...Read More
