The Work Behind The Scenes

22 de novembro de 2022

While scrolling through my Instagram feed I usually come across a lot of posts from teachers who advertise themselves as super organized and productive. It does make sense since being a teacher requires a set of skills that we learn to develop throughout the years. Another kind of post which is usually seen is the...Read More

Not about fish

21 de novembro de 2022

by Ana Carolina Calil

In Biology, fish shoal (/shohl/), stay together, for social reasons, deriving many benefits from it: defense against predators, enhanced foraging success, and even higher success in finding a mate. Fish even choose shoalmates of their own species, similar to them in age, size and appearance. When a group of fish swims in the same direction...Read More

“Teacher-researcher”… What does that even mean?

7 de novembro de 2022

by Arthur Damião Médici

We know what a teacher is. We know what a researcher is. But what happens when we merge these two concepts? Picture the following: you check your calendar to know what classes you need to teach this week. Then you check you class records to remember where you stopped and prepare for the next lesson....Read More

Storytelling in ESL: As simple as it gets

5 de novembro de 2022

by Teresa Carvalho

How frequently do you interrupt your students’ stories in L1 because you believe this might disrupt the class flow and prevent them from attempting to communicate in English? You’re not alone and rest assured it’s not your fault. This often happens because our teaching practice may be rooted in the belief that language learning entails...Read More

Cooperative learning is a method where students work in small groups to reach a common learning goal with the guidance of the teacher. Cooperative learning strategies can be used in different school contexts if they fulfill the following principles: positive interdependence, individual accountability, equal participation, face-to-face interaction, group processing, and effective group / social skills. ...Read More

What do you need to know in a needs analysis interview?

24 de fevereiro de 2022

by Arthur Damião Médici

Every student has a history with language learning. A mistake I’ve seen teachers (and institutions) make is “ignore” that history while conducting needs analysis interviews. Not deliberately, of course. When a school or teacher interviews a prospective student (PS) to solely assess their language level and talk about administrative aspects, I’m sure they don’t mean...Read More

“Do you develop your own material…?”

27 de janeiro de 2022

by Arthur Damião Médici

“…or do you use a coursebook?” I’ve been asked this question several times this January. I can’t say I’m surprised because recently I’ve seen independent teachers use authentic materials more often. Some have even taken a few steps further and developed a whole course material of their own… I wonder why that is. From an...Read More
