4 de março de 2017

I am sure every one of us teachers have, at least once in your lives, come across this question: “Teacher am I fluent? Because my boss said, I have to be fluent in order to get that promotion, or to participate in that conference, or to present that meeting, or to travel to the headquarters...Read More

by Dominic Walters

I went for a meeting last week with a woman who was interested in having English lessons. She said she needed to improve her English as the company she worked for had just signed a lucrative contract with an American firm. In all respects, she was an uninhibited and confident person who held a high...Read More

Picturing Through Reading – A Thousand Words And A Million Pictures

24 de fevereiro de 2017

by Adriano Zanetti

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. In other pictures, I mean, in other words, a picture might provide us with a thousand words which might eventually give free reign to your imagination. I am not saying that is all bad, however, for some this may be too little and,...Read More

What teachers want

20 de fevereiro de 2017

by Teresa Carvalho

We want to be called teachers. Although the word educator fits perfectly, I still prefer teacher. It is the title that is written before my name in my college diploma. When I graduated from college, it became my identity. It defines what I do and who I am. Teachers receive an education that is different...Read More

The Art of Storytelling as Curriculum

19 de fevereiro de 2017

by Carla Arena

Our humanity is expressed through our stories. More than ever before educators are in the look for different ways to engage their students by telling their own pieces of stories each class they meet their students, but they are also aiming to help their learners to tell their own stories. By doing that, a transformative...Read More

English made in Brazil

6 de fevereiro de 2017

by Ricardo Barros

Two things have happened recently that served as inspiration for this post. One of them is the (erroneous) belief that one can only learn a language if his/her teacher is a native speaker. Who would figure this is still a debate in 2017. The other is the #accentpride that aims at fighting the prejudice that only...Read More

What does it mean to “communicate”?

5 de fevereiro de 2017

by Natália Guerreiro

“Relax,” many teachers tell students, “if you have communicated, it’s all right.” Indeed. What is it, however, that counts as effective communication? At what moment can we chill out knowing we have done a good job in communicating? For some teachers, communication is getting your message across.

How to provide students with feedback

4 de fevereiro de 2017

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

I have recently prepared and given a session about feedback and it seems that there isn’t a formula to follow. However, as Ken Blanchard said: “Feedback is the breakfast of champions”. In my opinion, it is extremely difficult to have actual learning without having feedback. Therefore, what is the aim of feedback? After doing a...Read More
