Assessment in CLIL and bilingual education: more than just language

An ELT Teacher – A Profession or Occupation?

24 de janeiro de 2018

by Adriano Zanetti

We language educators often get asked what else we do apart from teaching English. Now, this takes the biscuits on the grounds that some people are hell-bent on this to mystify whether we take our profession seriously or not.
