Planning to thrive in 2015

19 de dezembro de 2014

It is that time of the year again. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been the type of guy who devotes quite a lot of time to planning his new year’s resolutions and, at the end of the year – now! – has no idea what they were or whether he’s achieved them....Read More

by Vivian Magalhães

Language Acquisition: More Order and Progress

12 de dezembro de 2014

It is different from traditional education as it uses language as a medium of instruction providing tolerance towards other linguistic and cultural groups.
