by Natália Guerreiro

There’s a woman with a standing microphone next to a wooden stool on a stage. She speaks for about an hour and the paying audience laughs every now and then. What is this? It’s a stand-up comedy. Or maybe it isn’t. Oftentimes, when we are working on skills in a language class, we treat genres...Read More

Teaching Community – To share or not to share?

4 de julho de 2018

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

Last month I had a rather uncomfortable experience when one of my blog lessons was shared with a group of teachers.

Inspirational teaching

30 de junho de 2018

by Marcela Cintra

I have recently discussed with another teacher that we should never lose track of the lessons we learn from inspirational teachers. We learn a lot throughout our professional teaching lives, but also from our long-lasting lives as learners. We take courses, study, research, observe.

And I also believe I don’t know anyone who rejoices facing problems and always sees them as fantastic opportunities to grow and...Read More
