A couple of months ago a friend of mine reported on his page on Facebook a situation that had happened to his son at school.

6 de outubro de 2016

by Ricardo Barros

After receiving some positive feedback on my previous post about pronunciation, I started thinking about other pronunciation areas that I thought were problematic. These are mistakes your students will certainly make, but that you may be making yourself too. The two sounds I have chosen have a couple of similarities to the /s/ and /z/...Read More

/s/ and /z/: pronunciation for teachers

6 de setembro de 2016

by Ricardo Barros

For a very long time, I thought my pronunciation was very good. Teachers and colleagues had told me so, and because of that I rarely ever gave it much attention. I was more worried about learning vocabulary or grammar. Naturally, my pronunciation was (and still is) far from perfect, but it took me time to...Read More

2 de abril de 2016

by elainehodgson

Just like in March, I’ll begin by reproducing a photo that was in newspapers and social media last month and that proved extremely controversial, raising heated discussions on the Internet. Well, I believe you have probably seen it and possibly read lots of arguments, both defending and criticising all sorts of aspects in the photo....Read More

by Damian Willians

English teacher, ‘How are you feeling today?’ Student, ‘Tense’ English teacher, ‘How were you feeling yesterday? How will you have been feeling by the end of the week?
