What sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology can do for you / PART 1

17 de maio de 2018

Before you read it, think quickly: Why do learners think native speakers make better teachers? Now let me share something with you: I have recently come across some works by sociolinguists and linguistic anthropologists — as well as social theorists, and I began to wonder why I had not related the latest developments of linguistic...Read More

Some lessons could not have been planned

14 de maio de 2018

by Gabriela Fróes

I plan all the lessons I teach, but I don’t teach all the lessons I plan. The initial idea for this one was not mine; I found it online. I was looking for different ways to review past modals of speculation for an FCE prep group. Having a group filled with teenagers, ages ranging from...Read More

Do You Listen To English?

12 de maio de 2018

by Stephen Greene

Before you say anything, I am sorry. Yes, I know I’ve said it before, but this time I mean it. I know I have been silent for a few months, and that the last time I was this quiet I apologised and swore it would never happen again. Only it did happen again and here...Read More

Accountability – Be transparet with your work

7 de maio de 2018

by Beatriz Meneguetti

It’s been a while since I last wrote about this topic but recently this has been such a recurrent issue around that there was no way to avoid it. ACCOUNTABILITY, the word, the feeling, the idea, the demand and the right when we teach. Having chosen teaching as a career, all you can do is...Read More

Sister Act: Mudança de Hábito

5 de maio de 2018

by Natália Guerreiro

I have a confession to make. But first, some background: as a gander around most teacher rooms or ELT conference audiences will quickly show us, language teaching is eminently a female profession. The British Council reports that 81% of English language teachers in the Brazilian public school system are women, and the Brazilian Ministry of Education...Read More

The art of process writing assessment

4 de maio de 2018

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

The writing process involves, at least, four different steps: analysing the task question, brainstorming, drafting, proofreading and finally handing it to the teacher so that the work can be checked. This process is also known as a ”recursive” process because when you are proofreading it is almost certain that you might have to return to...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
