If you want to master something, teach it!

4 de agosto de 2019

“If you want to master something, teach it. A great way to learn is to teach.” Richard Feynman – theoretical physicist This was Edutopia’s 24th of June Facebook post which was shared as a “tip” on my Instagram stories on the same day! I wrote: This is my motto, and it is, it has been...Read More

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

5 Film and Series quotes that help us become better teachers

9 de abril de 2019

by Rubens Heredia

Most of us cannot watch a film or an episode of our favourite series without trying to identify scenes that could be used in our lessons, right? Even if we just want to Netflix and chill, it just seems to be hardwired in our brains. In this post, I’ll take a look at some of...Read More

CPD and courses: who, what, when and how much

2 de março de 2019

by elainehodgson

We hear about CPD, the acronym for Continuous Professional Development, all the time. 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. When it comes to courses, one of...Read More

About inspiration, strength and gratitude

2 de dezembro de 2018

by elainehodgson

“Dear teacher, I’d like to say I have never forgotten your lessons and I’m grateful you have inspired me to follow this path.” This is part of a message I received last month. It is from a student I had over 20 years ago and who is now a successful teacher of English. I still...Read More

Three things I learnt from writing books for the public sector

2 de outubro de 2018

by elainehodgson

Back in 2011 I was invited to write the general introduction to a series of books for PNLD (Programa Nacional do Livro Didático), a Brazilian government programme that, as most of you may know, distributes books for public schools. It was a detailed introduction, which had to thoroughly explain the concept behind the book and...Read More

Should presentations in Portuguese be allowed in ELT Conferences in Brazil?

2 de setembro de 2018

by elainehodgson

Scene 1: Big conference in Brazil. The speaker, a Brazilian, goes onto the stage to begin her plenary session. While she speaks, you notice she makes some mistakes, pronunciation mistakes, grammar mistakes, but the content of her presentation is relevant and she manages to get her message across. At the end of her talk, you...Read More

Inside the 16th BTIC – an encouragement for developing teachers

4 de agosto de 2018

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

This year’s international conference, that took place in Caxias do Sul, was, as expected, amazing. I was not sure I would be able to participate until the last minute, therefore I didn’t submit any papers, however, I had the chance of “relaxing” and enjoying the ‘backstage’. These types of conferences will surely provide you with a...Read More

The impact of VISUAL AIDS on Learning

4 de março de 2018

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

That is it, I am talking about those instructional devices that can be used in the classroom to encourage teaching and learning. Charts, slips of paper, film strips, series, videos, images, maps, etc. Learning is not a simple process. It is said to be the change in behaviour, disposition and even personality brought by knowledge...Read More

Is motivation intrinsic or extrinsic?

4 de fevereiro de 2018

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

I have once read an article that stated that the word ‘motivation’ is linked to the word ‘emotion’ because both of them come from the Latin word ‘motere’ which means ‘to move towards emotion’. I distinctly remember this, because it has changed the way think about motivation. It is connected to emotion, as what drives...Read More
