English made in Brazil

6 de fevereiro de 2017
by Ricardo Barros
Two things have happened recently that served as inspiration for this post. One of them is the (erroneous) belief that one can only learn a language if his/her teacher is a native speaker. Who would figure this is still a debate in 2017. The other is the #accentpride that aims at fighting the prejudice that only...Read More

by Natália Guerreiro
They say crisis equals opportunity, and the Brazilian website bicos.com.br has pointed out that teaching is its visitors’ number one choice out of their financial predicaments.

According to Brazilian legislation, regular school teachers need to have a teaching license, which will take the candidate...Read More

For a Motivated New Year

9 de fevereiro de 2016
by Rubens Heredia
A lot is said in the literature about students’ motivation and how important a role it plays in a healthy and effective classroom environment. With the beginning of the academic year in Brazil, I’d like to take this opportunity to look at how we can keep our own motivation levels high throughout the year. After...Read More
