Teaching at Institutions x Regular Schools

4 de fevereiro de 2020

When did you decide to become a teacher? Did it start because life happened or did it start because you planned it? Did you take into consideration all the effort you would have to put into it?

Call me by my name – reflections on names, identity and teacher development

26 de dezembro de 2019

by Taylor Veigga

As a teenager, I had a teacher who ‘translated’ our names into English. João would become John, Mariana would be Mary and other questionable, less obvious, choices also took place. Mind you, this was a substitute teacher, so we perhaps had two or three lessons with her. As much as I’ve never truly embraced my...Read More

The Importance of Increasing Students’ Q.A.R. – Questions and Answers Repertoire

5 de dezembro de 2019

by Adriano Zanetti

Once in Paris, I had a friend teaching me the following phrase in case I needed to ask for information: Bonjour! Je suis désolé! Où je trouve les toilettes, s’il vous plaît? Apparently, my question was well asked as I was ‘gunnned down’ by the fastest French speech I have ever heard. It is obvious...Read More

Assessment and motivation: end-of-year debates

30 de novembro de 2019

by Marcela Cintra

Are We to Blame For Our Teenage Students’ Indiscipline?

18 de novembro de 2019

by Henrique Zamboni

It’s expected that experienced teachers’ classes will be more peaceful and freer of problems than novices’. But let’s be honest: no matter how long you’ve been working in ELT (English Language Teaching), there will always be difficulties, since we are dealing with people.

A blast from the past: how I learned and failed to learn English through songs

5 de novembro de 2019

by Natália Guerreiro

“You’ve got that look again, the one I hoped I had when I was a lad…” The familiar tune and the words I had once memorized blasted out of my phone — quite unexpectedly, I might add. I was listening to a random Spotify playlist, and out came Simply Red’s 1992 major hit “For Your...Read More

Good teachers don’t stand on students’ ways

22 de outubro de 2019

by Victor Virginio

This might sound a bit too harsh, but we do sometimes hinder learning. The title of this text was borrowed from a famous saying in football, made popular by the controversial former player Romario, now a politician. He was a very successful and undoubtedly talented player and worked with a large number of coaches throughout...Read More
