2 de dezembro de 2020

by Natália Guerreiro

As you will probably agree, inspiration comes from the most unusual places.

From novice to expert: what teacher development frameworks can teach us

5 de junho de 2019

by Natália Guerreiro

Teaching a language, especially when you’re a novice, can be really daunting. In fact, the word “daunting” immediately brings to mind a Duck commercial that was constantly on when I studied in Australia.

4 de janeiro de 2019

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

This is a fairly broad topic with a myriad of issues, such as the observer and observee’s attitudes towards having his/her lessons assessed. There is also the matter of how many times a teacher should be observed in a term, and when (before/after tests, two weeks after the first lesson, etc), having in mind the...Read More

My Moving Maker Moment

5 de outubro de 2018

by Natália Guerreiro

How often do you revisit and reexamine your beliefs about teaching and learning and about yourself as a teacher? It is easy to find fault in other people’s beliefs or practices: “So and So still operate with the concept of X.
