On being subversive

2 de junho de 2018

It is said that a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. Apparently, this concept was conceived by the Nazi master of propaganda Joseph Goebbels. Considering that Nazism was supported by so many, and for so long[1]- despite the horror of World War II – he was probably right. In ELT, saying that something...Read More

Writing as language development

31 de maio de 2018

by Leandro Zuanazzi

Writing is such a demanding and time-consuming task. Yes, it really is, so why bother? Due to the fact that English is likely to be your bread and butter, we can agree you must have an excellent command of the language, and that includes writing. Moreover, as a teacher, you should be able to help...Read More

Reflections on collaborative work

30 de maio de 2018

by Marcela Cintra

Innovations in various fields and changes in society behaviour and interaction have been giving us teachers a plethora of opportunities to grow and maximise language learning. Research has also shown that the skills learners need to develop require action from the very beginning of our students’ academic life. In this ‘framework for 21st century learning’...Read More

Looking beyond the fads: the use of tech in your classroom.

1 de maio de 2018

by Paulo Dantas

I will begin this post with a confession: although I have been involved in EFL and digital education projects for quite some time, I am not a heavy user of technology; I don’t really own a myriad of smart devices and, most of the time, I tend to prefer taking notes on a good, old...Read More

Career choices and teacher identity

30 de abril de 2018

by Marcela Cintra

I hope this post is an introduction to future projects and discussions that have been on my mind lately. The topic of career choices has raised lots of questions lately, not only during BrELT chats, where some people were in doubt as to which path to follow – e.g. the Cambridge courses or an MA...Read More

Learning to say no

29 de abril de 2018

by Isabela Villas Boas

A couple of months ago, I had to make a very difficult decision. I was honored to be invited to be one of the plenary speakers at the BRAZ-TESOL Curitiba event, a special one celebrating their 20th anniversary. Of course, my first reaction was to say, “YES, YES, YES!”. But then I started thinking: I...Read More

The Generation Z Invades Schools

27 de abril de 2018

by Carlos Henrique Trindade

This year, 2018, is a landmark. Schools across the globe, from kindergarten to high school, starting this year, have now only students from the Generation Z. That is, young people in school age were all born in the 21st Century. That brings us the need to understand this generation, the way they act, the way they behave, the way...Read More

Learning from failure

27 de abril de 2018

by Catarina Pontes

Just like telling a learner you don’t know the answer to their question at the start of your teaching career, talking about your professional failure is no easy game. I don’t aim to be blowing my own trumpet in the next lines; what I want to narrate instead, is how often times your backstage may...Read More

Work in progress

25 de abril de 2018

by Leandro Zuanazzi

A job in ELT is definitely not a cushy number. It will surely take a long time before you find yourself at the top of the ladder, and you are likely to hit several glass ceilings on your way up. Committed English language teachers are known to slog their guts out, but are seldom handsomely...Read More
