Idioms? Not my cup of tea.

14 de julho de 2015

I’ve always had a strange sense of foreboding when teaching idiomatic expressions. A while back I was teaching a lesson based on personality, and we ended up looking at some idioms: couch potato, wet blanket, backseat driver, chip on your shoulder, etc. We explored the meaning, did some practise, then discussed some questions about people we know...Read More

I used to think…

8 de julho de 2015

by Isabela Villas Boas

Have you ever thought about what you used to think about teaching when you started and how this has changed as the years went by? This was the topic of my very first class with a group of experienced public school teachers. After reading a blog post by Shelley Wright entitled I used to think…,...Read More

What is Aviation English?

5 de julho de 2015

by Natália Guerreiro

When my colleagues and I say we work in Aviation English, what we usually get is a mixture of awe and perplexity. Ironically, information about Aviation English seems not to travel far and wide. So here are a few initial bearings for those who wish to learn more about it. (Fingers crossed that I just...Read More

Listen to me!

by Dominic Walters

I was giving a lesson the other day to a group of students on the topic of pet hates. The students had to make a list of their pet hates and then compare with their partner in order to find out if they had anything in common. I then asked the learners what some of...Read More

Are girls better than boys at language?

1 de julho de 2015

by Carol Lethaby

This month, I want to pick up the theme of the brain and language learning and consider the controversial topic of sex differences. There has existed a belief for some time that girls are innately better at language than boys. Gurian (2005 in Eliot, 2009) argues that girls are up to eighteen months ahead of...Read More

Level it up – how to add challenge to your lessons

29 de junho de 2015

by Catarina Pontes

I believe it’s fair to say that one of the most important elements that contribute to the success of a lesson is certainly the amount of challenge learners are posed with. And when we think about challenge in a broad sense, we should certainly take into account the sources of language learners will be exposed...Read More

Teachers Finding Self-Confidence for Becoming Digital Creators

28 de junho de 2015

by Carla Arena

In my daily job in education, I find the most talented and vibrant community of educators. Their very specific skills range from making, sometimes with hardcore engineering skills, to arts, with those amazing strokes of light and hope. Many, though, lack self-confidence. They perceive themselves as just one more in the crowd. Their talent is...Read More

TeStressing Times – Test the Stress or Stress the Test

26 de junho de 2015

by Adriano Zanetti

On announcing my groups’ final testing dates, I can vividly remember one student coining the chunk, if I may say so, ‘TeStressing Times are coming.’ Well, in terms of pronunciation one might easily say she has aced the test. Living and learning seems to be a fair motto, I say. We all know that the...Read More
