ELF in my lesson?

25 de maio de 2015

British or American? Learners all over the globe have for long asked their teachers and peers which English they speak. Nevertheless, much more importantly than having a major focus on one of the main dominant varieties of English, it is crucial to raise learners’ awareness to the importance of being more and more used to...Read More

Time is on our side! Or is it?

24 de maio de 2015

by Adriano Zanetti

If we jump back in time we might hear Sir Mick Jagger singing: ‘Time is on my side’. Mr. Keith Richards would promptly reply: ‘Yes, it is!’. The fact of the matter is that they are pushing 70ish and still keep rocking, which gives us the impression that time is really on their side. Had...Read More

Three Highlights from IATEFL Manchester Talks and Workshops

23 de maio de 2015

by Teresa Carvalho

While technology has become a powerful tool to share information, talking to people face-to-face still remains unrivalled. Enjoying a meal together or connecting with others through a handshake — or even a few words, creates a synergy that promotes feelings of trust and collaboration; it helps us build stronger relationships and a feeling of belonging....Read More

You know you’re an EFL teacher when …

by Damian Willians

1 You listen to songs, mainly paying attention to the lyrics for examples of language use you can practise in class. 2 You have a huge bank of useful but interesting general knowledge, entirely gleaned from coursebooks. 3 You gesticulate wildly all the time when speaking to people, something you learnt when trying to explain...Read More

by Stephen Greene

My name is Stephen Greene. I am a teacher. I live in Curitiba.* I am not a public sector teacher. Compared to them, I have a pretty cushy life. I teach private students and so keep all of the income for myself. I teach in people’s houses, at their place of work, at my house...Read More

Aligning lead-ins and “lead-outs”

8 de maio de 2015

by Isabela Villas Boas

My last post dealt with a tendency I have been noticing in my classroom observations regarding lead-ins being either used to pre-teach language that should actually be discovered by students or turned into loose conversation activities with no clear pedagogical purpose beyond “just talk”. I also commented that this long time spent on the lead-in...Read More

It’s funny to think about how the relationship between teachers and students has changed. Some years ago, the teacher would simply tell a student off and then s/she would study harder or so, even parents would support the teacher. Nowadays things are different. Feedback has to be well thought about. Anyway, define what feedback is...Read More

What does it take to be an English language teacher in Brazil?

5 de maio de 2015

by Natália Guerreiro

I think I must have seen this question a million times: “What does it take to be an English language teacher?” “Courage” springs to mind. At least that’s what I needed when I broke the news to my dear father that I wouldn’t be a lawyer like him (“Quem não faz Direito faz errado,” he...Read More

What´s the point?

3 de maio de 2015

by Dominic Walters

Do you know, or do you remember, what a typical lesson plan template looks like? Let me just remind you just in case. Although plans vary slightly, they are invariably divided up into four or five columns, headed by ´Stage Name´, ´Interaction´, ´Stage Aims´, ´Procedures´ and maybe ´Materials´. What I really want to touch upon...Read More
