Getting the Music of English Right

20 de junho de 2015

Modeling language is, among a number of other teaching techniques, one of the first things the novice teacher needs to put a lot of effort and energy into in order to have a hand on, to say the least. In most pre-service teacher training courses I have taught several times at different institutions along many...Read More

A Simple Step Towards Professional Development: Reading

18 de junho de 2015

by Teresa Carvalho

A few years ago I had to catch up with a lot of reading for the DELTA module 1, aka Reading for DELTA module. At first, the amount of reading I was supposed to do in such a short time was overwhelming. I wasn’t sure if I was up for the task, but as those...Read More

Pendulum swings, babies and bathwater: an appeal for common sense

14 de junho de 2015

by Damian Willians

I recently came across a blog post by Cathy Moore titled ‘How to respond to learning styles believers’, in which she talks about the perils of debunking theories to which people have become quite accustomed and attached to over the years, but which have been shown not to be based on evidence – in this...Read More

What Has Teaching Ever Taught You?

12 de junho de 2015

by Stephen Greene

It is something of a cliché that the best teachers always learn from their students. It has become a cliché, though, because it is true, or at least it should be true. For example, some of the things I have learned this week include why there isn’t one standard voltage for all of Brazil from...Read More

TTT: the good, the bad and the ugly!

9 de junho de 2015

by Rubens Heredia

Gone are the days when teachers were the sole source of knowledge. The Internet has revolutionised society by granting everyone access to the information, meaning that listening to a teacher talking on and on about a topic is not only unnecessary but actually rather boring. It is therefore inevitable that teachers reflect upon their role...Read More

Assessment conundrums

8 de junho de 2015

I am teaching a course for public school English teachers in Brasilia and one of the topics addressed is assessment. The aim of this part of the course is to improve teachers’ assessment literacy, allowing them to provide informed feedback on the assessment system used in their institution and develop assessment systems and tools that...Read More

Made in Translation

3 de junho de 2015

by Dominic Walters

I’ve been using quite a lot of translation recently. Maybe it’s because I’ve forgotten what was drummed into me when I did my CELTA course all those years ago, or maybe because when used discernibly, it can be a very useful learning technique. Translation from the mother tongue into the target language has been much...Read More

Humanizing the Language Classroom

29 de maio de 2015

by Anderson Maia

One of today’s major principles in ELT is the focus on learning and the learner. Books, articles, researchers and teachers all preach about the importance of humanizing pedagogical decisions, directing their attention to actually developing people – the language learners. Learning strategies, multiple intelligences, learning channels, scaffolding strategies, adequate assessment tools, and varied multi-modal resources...Read More

Sharing Six Teaching Techniques – the first three

27 de maio de 2015

by Laura Miccoli

Hi! This month I want to share with you three teaching techniques I recently got to know as I searched the Internet for innovation. I wanted to provide more to my students. Although traditional teaching, with me in the lead role and students taking notes, is still important, I wanted to create affordances in class so...Read More
