18 de fevereiro de 2015

I’m a teacher and a mentor, which means I’m in charge of in-service training at branch level at a large language institute with around seventy branches spread in my hometown and other capitals in Brazil. In practical terms, I welcome new teachers and conduct ongoing training with our teaching staff when I’m not busy teaching...Read More

Critical thinking as an antidote to stupid rules

by Vivian Magalhães

At least once a week, I have to go to the post office to mail books people order through my website. I usually go to the same agency, which is actually a privately-owned postal franchise, near my house. This month, however, I was on vacation away from home, so I had to go to a...Read More

In defence of coursebooks

14 de fevereiro de 2015

by Damian Willians

Good morning. My name’s Damian and I like coursebooks. I’ve liked them for about 20 years now. Coursebooks are a funny beast in our profession. They seem to take a lot of flack from various sectors of the industry, yet they are – and continue to be – all pervasive. Whatever your connection with ELT,...Read More

Learning a Language is a lot Like Running a Marathon

12 de fevereiro de 2015

by Stephen Greene

We’re half way through February (already!) and all of those New Year’s resolutions you set yourself probably fell by the road side a long time ago. If you’re still following them, congratulations! Maybe this is the year that you actually follow through on a promise to yourself. It wasn’t exactly a New Year’s Resolution for...Read More

HOMEWORK: FRIEND OR FOE?

11 de fevereiro de 2015

by Roseli Serra

February has come and we are all back to school again. So let’s talk about homework? For some years I have observed that a certain number of teachers have had difficulties setting and correcting homework for several reasons, from time management to lack of interest on the part of the SS.

by Rubens Heredia

February is a great opportunity for us to finally get down to implementing our New Year resolutions, isn’t it? It is only natural that we take this time to revisit our professional life and make important decisions to develop professionally and avoid the tantalising stagnation of our comfort zone. Yet, many teachers I talk to...Read More

It’s the beginning of the school year in the Southern Hemisphere and many teachers are starting their teaching career or re-starting in a new school or language institute.

Holidays are over, preparation has already taken place so now it’s time to get into teaching! When the year comes to an end we think back and realise our work was done and a rest is deserved.

Give it a rest

5 de fevereiro de 2015

by Natália Guerreiro

“Good, better, best, never let it rest, until your good gets better and your better best.” It was the middle of an intensive CELTA and I was exhausted. I still had to put finishing touches on the lesson plan, but I just couldn’t take it any more. I had to sleep. So I set the...Read More
