The impact of your teaching

14 de agosto de 2017

by Henrick Oprea

Technology will not replace teachers, but teachers who can integrate technology effectively in their pedagogical practices will replace teachers who can’t.

Teaching and Training with New Technologies – Part 1

11 de agosto de 2017

It’s clear to us by now that the role of the teacher has been changing dramatically. Gone are the days when the teacher was the source of all knowledge! In an age where students are bombarded with and have free access to information, the image of the teacher as a knowledge-transmitter seems outdated and out...Read More

by Vinicius Diamantino

Sabe aquela insegurança horrível de não sentir firmeza no chão antes de dar qualquer próximo passo? Bom, eu passo por isso e entendo perfeitamente quem também está na mesma situação.

I have been working on teaching young learners a lot in these past months, mostly due to a new project we are implementing in our school, so I really thought about sharing some of the views I have been studying which definitely impact the teaching of these students.

It is August, and most language teachers are likely to be here: back to the beginning of a brand new semester.

5 de agosto de 2017

by Natália Guerreiro

Earlier this week Elaine Hodgson posted about the pros and cons of self-promotion, raising many important points.

´Americanization´ or ´Americanisation´?

by Dominic Walters

‘Trousers’ or ‘pants’? ‘Lift’ or ‘elevator’? ‘Colour’ or ‘color’? ‘Theatre’ or ‘theater’? Which lexical item do you use? Which form of spelling do you opt for? Do you teach ‘American’ or ‘British’ English? Or both? How do you decide what to teach? Does it matter? Well, according to some recent research, it does matter, and...Read More
