I hope you find it useful. My friend was talking about his experience as an EFL...Read More

Language Acquisition: The Bird is the Word

12 de março de 2014

by Stephen Greene

There is a cartoon that I love to watch called Family Guy (Uma Familia da Pesada). It isn’t to everyone’s taste because of the casual violence, bad language and somewhat offensive jokes.

After all, advanced students have been in the game long enough and know enough English to ensure that most of our lessons run – at worst – relatively smoothly....Read More
