11 de fevereiro de 2020

You’ve Got a(n ELT) Friend

16 de janeiro de 2020

by Henrique Zamboni

In 2019 we had the opportunity to work together on different projects. Such projects involved writing for the Richmond blog, going live on different social media websites and delivering an online course for teachers. We’d like to start by commenting on the online course experience. Needless to say how this course enriched us. While organizing...Read More

9 de setembro de 2019

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

If you work in a language Institution or in a (high) school as a teacher, a coordinator or if you are a school principal or owner, you are aware that cultural events are a substantial part of the breakdown.

Peace in the era of extreme choices

30 de agosto de 2019

by Marcela Cintra

Lately, we seem to have been facing the social need to shout out opinions and to pick sides. The political scenario may have contributed to generalised polarised behaviour even in education. For me, and I believe for so many of my friends and peers, there is very little chance that one can work in the...Read More

“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

War and Peace

17 de junho de 2019

by Ana Carolina Calil

What do gunpowder, tobacco, and high-performance schools have in common? If we have the Great Wars of the 20th century as our backdrop, quite a lot. At the end of World War I, Germany was trying to cope with grave social problems. The owner of a cigarette company decided to fund a new school for...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

Collaboration in the classroom: whose responsibility?

30 de março de 2019

by Marcela Cintra

One of the current buzz words in education is collaboration. From kindergarten to doctorate learners, many teachers claim to develop collaboration with their groups. I have recently discussed the matter with a group of teachers working in different contexts (language institutes, primary school, undergraduate courses) and the understanding of the concept of collaboration seems blurred at...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
