Is the Brazilian ELT industry racist?

26 de novembro de 2017

A few days ago, the Rio de Janeiro Secretary of Education criticized the actress Tais Araujo for her TED Talk in which she shares some of the challenges she will soon encounter as a mother of black children. The Secretary described it as ‘racial stupidity’. Needless to say, I was shocked to hear that. It...Read More

The ever-changing nature of ELT in Brazil: How teaching practices reflect glocal changes

20 de novembro de 2017

by Edmilson Chagas

PART 1: from the early 90’s to the early 2010’s What you are about to read is by no means to be regarded as an accurate description of ELT practices in Brazil throughout the last 3 decades. Rather, what I attempt to describe below is simply my very own perception of how ELT has throughout...Read More

Diary of a Freelance Teacher: “10 for that? You must be mad!”

“Dress for the job you want”: rethinking attitude at work

30 de outubro de 2017

by Marcela Cintra

How many times have you said or heard the phrase “when I get the job/ promotion, I will…”? It is usually because in a different position one may have more time, money or opportunities.

Letras or CELTA?

26 de outubro de 2017

by Taylor Veigga

A question that is posed time and time again is whether teachers should take a BA in languages, known here in Brazil as Letras, or take the CELTA. I wish there was a simple answer to this question, but truth is: it’s complicated. Some would say that taking a Letras course is the way to...Read More

See you (present) in Caxias do Sul!

by Natália Guerreiro

“Why don’t you present at the next BRAZ-TESOL event?” “Me? I have nothing to talk about.” “Of course you do. You do this, that, and the other.” “Oh, but everybody does that.” “No, not everybody does that… You’re taking your talents for granted.” “But no one will want to listen to me.” “Think again.” It...Read More

Diversity in ELT networking.

21 de setembro de 2017

by Júlio Vieitas

After much reflection on my professional career, I must admit that everything I do I don’t do alone. I am who I am thanks to the collaboration of an endless number of people that have crossed paths with me and shared some of their wisdom, kindness, support, different takes on ELT and constructive criticism. I...Read More
