The 53rd IATEFL experience

4 de abril de 2019

This is, in fact, my first experience at an IATEFL event. I have been to BRAZ-TESOL and BRELT events, however, the IATEFL is quite different. You see names from all over the world, talking about their teaching experiences in Japan, in Nigeria, Uganda, etc and the verdict is all the same: we need to improve...Read More

“Techfying” your lessons – SAMR model

4 de março de 2019

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

Yes, I have just invented that word. Technology use in the classroom is debatable when it comes to usability and rationale of tasks. We (Active ELTers) have been discussing this topic for a long time now and one feature I believe is worth mentioning is that, if you use interactive boards, chromebooks, padlets, projectors, etc...Read More

Assessing the Assessor – Lesson Observation

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

Two thousand, eight hundred, seventy-nine tabs open – a reality

4 de dezembro de 2018

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

Had you been asked to divide your life into sub-categories, how many (and what) would there have been? Exactly. This how a teacher’s mind is all the time. Especially when in a classroom, while teaching. During a lesson we are always concerned with our student’s mental processes – if they are processing the information being...Read More

Striking a balance between friendship and professionalism at the workplace

4 de novembro de 2018

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

There is a fine line between being friends and treating colleagues with professionalism. Especially when points of view differ. The ELT world is full of active communities and groups who meet at conferences or even for a ‘night out’ in order to share ideas in a more relaxed way. And one of the things I...Read More

Finding agile solutions outside the ELT world

4 de outubro de 2018

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

Most of us, ELT teachers, ascribe our lack of time to the number of lessons we teach in a week. I, oftentimes, find myself trying to design a lesson, study for an exam, read and take care of the house at the same time. Needless to say that this is, in the least, exhausting. Other...Read More

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

As an EFL teacher, you must have already realised that the roles we play are as volatile as this ever-evolving world we live in. Let’s start by focusing on some of the changes our role has been through in the classroom: We are not the source of all wisdom and power anymore (if we have...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

Teaching Community – To share or not to share?

4 de julho de 2018

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

Last month I had a rather uncomfortable experience when one of my blog lessons was shared with a group of teachers. The vexation occurred when I got to know that the lesson was being shared without the credits. The topic of the lesson was about the trucker’s strike that took place in May here in...Read More
