Now it’s time to know what the other half wrote on this topic. You will see how their beliefs on topics such as methodology, use of textbooks, native-like pronunciation, and students’...Read More

Musings on amusing test answers (for amazing item writing)

5 de agosto de 2015

by Natália Guerreiro

No matter how much we love our profession, there will always be that mind-numbing task we have to carry out. To me, that’s marking a seemingly endless pile of multiple-choice/short answer tests, the kind even a computer could grade. However, there is always that outside-the-box answer that will cheer me up. The web has no...Read More

Or secondly, it is a commonly repeated word or phrase, which often becomes a truism, regardless of its...Read More

Cutting a long story short

How many times have you heard, said, read or written the chunk – ‘So, to sum up,…! While on holidays gazing at the sea, sitting on the beach every day I caught myself ‘saying’ that when I was playing with my kids on the sand. Tragically or not, one student came to mind. Verbose as...Read More

Multi-level Classrooms: a challenge worth facing

27 de julho de 2015

by Laura Miccoli

Hi! As a teaching consultant in public and private schools, I often hear teachers complain about problems in multi-level classrooms. With 30-40 students in class, they dream of smaller and leveled classes – something difficult to implement given the spacing logistics of breaking a group in three and having three teachers instead of just one...Read More

– “Seminars and conferences? No, thanks. Been there, done that, took a selfie. I’ve seen it all.”

20 de julho de 2015

by Edmilson Chagas

If, like me, you have been in the field of TEFL for what I choose to call a substantial amount of time, you have probably (over)heard teachers, or even work colleagues say, “I’ve participated in so many seminars and conferences that I really don’t see the point of keeping attending them anymore.

I will start this month’s post by apologizing, and for two different reasons. First, I haven’t posted on RichmondShare since January, and I am truly very sorry for that.

This is the time of the year when I have to contact parents to inform that their kids have failed their final exams. Breaking bad news — no matter if it it doesn’t come as a surprise, is just as hard for parents as it is for us teachers. That’s why we need to work...Read More

Hello there! First of all, I’m so sorry for being AWOL for so long. I launched my online English course and it was a pretty hectic time.
