12 de julho de 2014

Picture the scene: A two-year-old boy with his dad having a conversation about a favourite teddy bear (not unlike the one in the photo). CHILD: Look daddy, this old teddy bear is pink.

The importance of giving feedback

11 de julho de 2014

by Roseli Serra

Traditionally, tests and examinations evaluate how students perform in terms of learning outcome. However in a learner-centred education system, it is more important to monitor students’ learning processes and to give them direct feedback. Such feedback can help students learn more efficiently; and if used correctly, feedback can function as a very powerful tool to motivate...Read More

7 de julho de 2014

by Beatriz Meneguetti

I have been reading a lot in order to prepare some kids courses for the second semester and I have come across a very interesting discussion, again, in young learners’ field on how support and challenge in their lessons. Learners in general, but I believe children more specifically, need a lot of support when learning,...Read More

What is the recipe to design a language course?

4 de julho de 2014

by Anderson Maia

How long does it take to learn English? That is probably the one-million question of our era. At a time of fast-food, instant messages, real-time distance interaction, and quick fixes to (almost) everything, learning a language becomes one more item on our “fast-track” bucket list. As a way to attract market and become more competitive,...Read More

Towards a smaller future

3 de julho de 2014

by Dominic Walters

Am I right in assuming that more and more people are now looking beyond traditional learning experiences in a school setting to a more individualized and needs focused learning normally provided through one-to-one and small , closed lesson formats?

Do you understand?

2 de julho de 2014

by elainehodgson

In my experience as an English teacher, I have observed other teachers’ lessons and been observed countless times. It is probably safe to say that the majority of teachers are much more concerned about what to do than about how to do it. However, the ‘hows’ can be as important as the ‘whats’ and ‘whys’,...Read More

by Michele Schwertner

We all love reading in my family – my husband and I are real bookworms. I myself also love books – I buy so many, I wonder if I’ll ever have the time to read all of them in this lifetime. I started buying books for my baby daughter long before she was born. Even...Read More

An A-Z of Dysfunctional ELT: G is for Gaps

30 de junho de 2014

by Dennis Warren

#4: G is for Gaps No, not those kind of gaps; not a cloze, not a key word transformation, nor a gapped text, and certainly not an information gap. A gapped teacher – with a thinking gap. A gap in thinking which results in a disconnected application of teaching. A gap in thinking which leads...Read More
