Five bad excuses for not doing peer revision of writing in the EFL classroom

21 de novembro de 2014

My dear colleague Luiz Otávio Barros wrote a recent post providing ten tips to help teachers give feedback on writing. The ten tips are all very useful and are certainly in-keeping with contemporary ESL/EFL writing pedagogy. Just like Luiz Otávio, I also consider White and Arndt’s 1991 book Process Writing a seminal work on how...Read More

Mentoring: As Good as it Gets

17 de novembro de 2014

by Teresa Carvalho

When I started teaching a long time ago, I didn’t have a mentor. I had colleagues and students, and occasionally I would seek help from a more experienced teacher. It was usually a question about the material or language that I couldn’t answer myself. Other than that, I relied pretty much on teachers’ guides even...Read More

The challenge of developing learner autonomy

17 de novembro de 2014

by Vivian Magalhães

Robin MacClure starts her article “Unnecessary Parents” by saying that “the ultimate job of parents is to raise kids in a way so that they are not needed. In other words, parents should work themselves out of a job.” Well, I think that also applies to teachers, and especially to language teachers. Our goal should...Read More

Dyslexic students in the EFL classroom

16 de novembro de 2014

by Antonio Coutelo

The word “dyslexia” comes from the Greek words “dys” (difficulty) and “lexia” (language), and is a language processing disorder that some people are born with. Although learning a new language can be very difficult for people with dyslexia – especially in the written form – it does not mean they have to give up on...Read More

How To Flip Your Classroom – My Experience With 4th and 5th Graders

15 de novembro de 2014

by Adir Ferreira

I stopped teaching English classes in 2009. I’d been teaching English for over 18 years and most of my students were elementary school kids (public and private). In that same year I started working online for an American company called Transparent Language, based in Nashua (New Hampshire). At first I wrote for their English, Spanish...Read More

Revisiting ELT mantras #9: Quoting people

14 de novembro de 2014

by Damian Willians

Kitten! by Sergey Ivanov CC BY-SA 2.0 This month’s post has nothing to do with kittens, but do we really need an excuse? This month I’m straying from the topic of teaching slightly to look at what happens when we, as teachers, write about our profession. It’s a topic that’s quite close to my...Read More

Language Acquisition: Communication Strategies

12 de novembro de 2014

by Stephen Greene

It is a source of pride when a child takes after his or her parents. The little boy who wants to be a teacher like his mother, or the little girl who develops a laugh just like her father. Of course, it can also work the other way as well, so the little boy can...Read More

A Little More on Professional Development

11 de novembro de 2014

by Roseli Serra

Professional Development is an area which I really like talking and writing about. Yes, I’ve written about it before, but for me it’s never too much and I hope it’s not for you too. For years I have been working with other teachers’ PD and mainly I have tried to work hard on my own...Read More

10 tips to help you give feedback on writing

10 de novembro de 2014

by Luis Otávio Barros

There have been a lot of pendulum swings in our profession since the early 90s, but the teaching of writing seems to be a bit of an exception. Compared to, for example, the sibling rivalry between PPP vs. task-based learning, the half-hearted nod of approval translation’s finally starting to get or, say, the recent comeback...Read More

Video genres for the language classroom

9 de novembro de 2014

by Rubens Heredia

Being a bit of a YouTube buff, myself, I’ve always been really keen on using videos with my students. So much interaction and such great ideas can come from just a couple of minutes (or even seconds) of audio-visual input! We often use movie snippets or interviews in order to bring the outside world into...Read More
