Talking Communicatively

3 de fevereiro de 2015

I was talking to a teacher the other day. He had just completed his CELTA course with a grade B although he had already been teaching for a couple of years beforehand. A nice chap all in all, and very enthusiastic. I am not sure how, but after the initial chit-chat which broke the ice,...Read More

Teaching and the myth of working for love

2 de fevereiro de 2015

by elainehodgson

Myths and stereotypes are inherent to a number of professions: the ignorant model, the cunning lawyer, the rude military officer, the sexy nurse, just to name a few. Intertwined with prejudice and/or limited, erroneous views, these myths and stereotypes very often cause discomfort and raise discussion. Teaching is no exception to that. Which stereotypes are...Read More

by Michele Schwertner

Dear all, this post was supposed to be published on New Year’s Day and that would make perfect sense. Due to Internet connection issues, I was not able to do so and I also ended up losing part of it… I was about to delete it when I realized every day a new year begins...Read More

by Higor Cavalcante

Happy New Year, everyone! As promised in my December post, this year I’ll be discussing what I believe to be a key issue in ELT, namely teacher development. In no particular order, and evidently not aiming at exhausting the subject – which would be impossible –, I hope to be able to, in twelve posts,...Read More

by Carla Arena

I was about to start this post, and had a totally different idea in mind. But then I couldn’t miss sharing with you such interesting, simple and effective idea for the classroom with all resources already there, a click away. I’ve just come across this post “Interactive Learning Menus (Choice Boards) Using Google Docs” , which...Read More

by Vivian Magalhães

The performance of Brazilian students in national and international assessment tests has been consistently low, which has led researchers to look into the reasons for the inefficiency of our educational system. A study conducted by Fundação Carlos Chagas has found that the programs offered by most universities in the area of teacher education do not...Read More

Teachers on holidays… are still teachers!

24 de janeiro de 2015

by cecilialemos

I’ve just had a week off, so I went off on holidays. After a whole year of teacher, training, writing, talking to students, parents, helping those who needed the extra help or a supporting word (or hug!)… I tried to fool myself, thinking I would be able to completely tune out of work by simply...Read More

What will your verse be?

21 de janeiro de 2015

by Henrick Oprea

Education has become a trending topic. Actually, it’s always been an interest – even if it’s just a vested interest – for pretty much everyone I know. Deep down, we know that it defines a lot of who we are and we hold education accountable for our accomplishments in life. It is what increases our...Read More

Learning to Learn

18 de janeiro de 2015

by Teresa Carvalho

This month’s post is about different ways of learning, or learning styles, as some authors put it. It’s also about why I believe they exist even when we totally ignore their existence. It is a controversial issue for many teachers, who have mixed feelings about it. Do Learning Styles really exist? Are they just...Read More

ADHD students learning English – part 1

16 de janeiro de 2015

by Antonio Coutelo

Teaching ADHD students can be a difficult task when teachers are not aware of some particularities. ADHD children usually lack confidence. Therefore, they feel pleased when the teacher praises them. They also feel happy when their interests and abilities are acknowledged. I read a paper in which Natalia Turketi mentioned that inattentive children...Read More
