Sharing an Experience: Matters of Mind – Psychology and Language Learning Graz, May 29th- 31st

Tiring because submitting papers, filling out forms to leave the country and all the money to be invested can make you give up before you decide to go. But, when you face the paperwork and get there, it’s actually invigorating. Conferences provide the opportunity to...Read More

Reading: Building A Skilful Habit

24 de junho de 2014

by Adriano Zanetti

Is reading a skill in isolation? No language skill, either receptive or productive, should be dealt with in isolation in class. Reading texts hold an awful lot of language, information, and topics among other things that can lead to speaking and writing.

I enjoy playing games in the classroom. And I know my students do too, especially the young learners and teenagers (even though teachers of adult students know that many times adults really enjoy playing games too.)

The redefinition of list-making: what does it mean to teachers?

22 de junho de 2014

by Ana Maria Menezes

Why do we make lists? Jillian Steinhauer in a 2012 blog post says “We are a society of listers.” In other words, we could all be called “glazomaniacs” according to Dictionary.com which defines “glazomania” as a passion for list-making. We seem to enjoy lists: to-do lists, grocery lists, best-sellers lists, new year resolution lists and...Read More

What’s inclusion?

16 de junho de 2014

by Antonio Coutelo

Good afternoon, readers! Starting today, I’ll be posting about the inclusive teaching of English. I believe that, at first, an introduction to the topic is ‘conditio sine qua non’ for the progress of this column. The discussion around inclusion has been increasing in Brazilian society over the last decades, which demonstrates the controversy it causes...Read More
