26 de junho de 2016

The year was 2011. I was moving to my new apartment. My first apartment ever, the first time on my own without roommates. The first place to ever call mine, and I wanted to furnish the place all at once. I had about 12 groups and countless private students. I was living in Laranjeiras and...Read More

Why teachers need to explain things

18 de junho de 2016

by Teresa Carvalho

The other day I came across a box of notes written by my students at the end of term. During a while I used to systematically ask for feedback from my students and I had a lesson ready for that for all the levels and age groups that I taught, from young learners to adults....Read More

My Teacher Development Guidelines

6 de junho de 2016

by Ricardo Barros

In July, I’ll have been teaching English for exactly 13 years. One maxim among language teachers is that sometimes you can get to this point by having one year of experience repeated 13 times.

5 de junho de 2016

by Natália Guerreiro

They say crisis equals opportunity, and the Brazilian website bicos.com.br has pointed out that teaching is its visitors’ number one choice out of their financial predicaments. You can imagine how that went viral (and quite virulent) among Brazilian teachers. According to Brazilian legislation, regular school teachers need to have a teaching license, which will take the candidate...Read More

A new version of me

26 de maio de 2016

by Taylor Veigga

When I was a teenager, one of my favorite TV series was Felicity. This show was about a young girl discovering college and herself. Though I was not in college at the time, I could relate to the main character on many levels. Perhaps that is the recipe for good shows: drama, laughter, questionable hairstyle...Read More

Last month I was very fortunate to be able to attend the 50th IATEFL International Conference in Birmingham, the UK.
