Disparities between ELTers – why does that happen?

4 de maio de 2019

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

This post is going to be very personal. I believe that it will depict exactly what I have been feeling for the past few months – the lack of companionship and the empty competition there is in our field. Competition in a field or at a workplace might be profitable in the sense that it...Read More

Although CPD is not only about taking courses, they are certainly a prototypical concept and the number of courses aimed at teachers has been increasing steadily, or at least this is the impression I have.
