Final /i/ and /m/: pronunciation for teachers

6 de outubro de 2016

After receiving some positive feedback on my previous post about pronunciation, I started thinking about other pronunciation areas that I thought were problematic. These are mistakes your students will certainly make, but that you may be making yourself too. The two sounds I have chosen have a couple of similarities to the /s/ and /z/...Read More

“Can you help me with this quick questionnaire?” — ELT Survey Mistakes

5 de outubro de 2016

by Natália Guerreiro

Have you noticed how many ELT surveys there have been out there as of late? Teachers seem to be firing off questionnaires to other teachers all the time now, about the most varied topics, from tasks used in class to teacher profile, from student motivation to whatnot. That is probably a consequence of the advent of apps...Read More

Reading tasks: 3 pitfalls to avoid

4 de outubro de 2016

by Luis Otávio Barros

Most of us like to use authentic, non-coursebook, hot-off-the-press texts in class from time to time. This entails not only choosing interesting, level-appropriate material, but also devising tasks that will enable students to get as much out of the text as possible. Writing good comprehension questions is trickier than meets the eye, though. Here are three pitfalls to...Read More

On teacher learning

30 de setembro de 2016

by Marcela Cintra

Today I was very inspired by a group of professionals attending my presentation during the 3rd BT TDSIG one-day seminar and I decided to post my contribution to the blog only after having talked to many of the committed teachers about development. Hall & Simeral (2010), in one of my favourite quotes about teaching, highlight...Read More

Should we vent about our students?

29 de setembro de 2016

by Isabela Villas Boas

Not long ago I read a blog post in Edutopia by Jason Deehan about whether venting about students should be banned. What motivated the author to write the post was the fact that he had come across a comment about a school that discouraged teachers from venting about their students because they felt that it...Read More

Strategy design and execution in education management – Part 1

28 de setembro de 2016

by Júlio Vieitas

When designing a strategy, a paramount and inherent aspect for a successful endeavour is that each action is in line with the expected performance and result indicators. There must be a clear goal, a road map that will reveal the path to be trailed, what one should expect and the final destination. As Seneca suggests:...Read More

The freelance language teacher

27 de setembro de 2016

by Taylor Veigga

A fellow teacher told me about a well-known language institute that started selling a new, faster course. He asked me how I thought he could compete with them. I told them he shouldn’t, they are not his competition. What many teachers do not understand is that when they decide to work as freelance language teachers, they...Read More

What I’ve learned about learning from others

9 de setembro de 2016

by Rubens Heredia

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much we can develop as professionals by being involved in the teaching community. Not surprisingly, the most important lessons I’ve had on teaching came from people, not books, but it wasn’t an easy process and I’d like to share some of lessons I’ve learnt from learning with others....Read More

by Vinicius Diamantino

Dentre as inúmeras atividades outdoor que trabalham autoconhecimento e motivação, uma delas, a caminhada vendada, me chama particularmente a atenção. Essa atividade consiste em nada mais que caminhar até um determinado ponto (a poucos metros de distância) estando com os olhos vendados e conseguir parar no exato local proposto. Há dois níveis para a realização...Read More
