Memory is the residue of thought, but what does that mean for teachers?

14 de novembro de 2018

If learning is personalized and engaging, it is likely to stick. If your students have fun during your classes, that’s more likely to bring about emotions that should aid the process of learning. Also, learning doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it is built upon previous knowledge. We also know how powerful stories are when it...Read More

Three things I learnt from writing books for the public sector

2 de outubro de 2018

by elainehodgson

Back in 2011 I was invited to write the general introduction to a series of books for PNLD (Programa Nacional do Livro Didático), a Brazilian government programme that, as most of you may know, distributes books for public schools. It was a detailed introduction, which had to thoroughly explain the concept behind the book and...Read More

The Generation Z Invades Schools

27 de abril de 2018

by Carlos Henrique Trindade

This year, 2018, is a landmark. Schools across the globe, from kindergarten to high school, starting this year, have now only students from the Generation Z. That is, young people in school age were all born in the 21st Century. That brings us the need to understand this generation, the way they act, the way they behave, the way...Read More

Learning from failure

27 de abril de 2018

by Catarina Pontes

Just like telling a learner you don’t know the answer to their question at the start of your teaching career, talking about your professional failure is no easy game. I don’t aim to be blowing my own trumpet in the next lines; what I want to narrate instead, is how often times your backstage may...Read More

Are good teachers born or made?

1 de março de 2018

by Marcela Cintra

We often discuss this question both in the field of education and during informal conversations elsewhere. A similar debate is not that frequent among other professions, for instance we do not seem to ask whether doctors are born or need to study hard to develop. Many people advocate that teachers choose to work in the...Read More

Educators Going Digital: Don’t Let Fear Get in the Way

28 de fevereiro de 2018

by Carla Arena

It’s been some years already that we’ve been talking about m-learning and its promises, but with not much consistent use of mobile devices as a learning tool with extremely high computational capabilities, sometimes even bigger than our own desktops (certainly this is my case!). There are simply countless ways to deepen the experiences and learning...Read More

There are no formulas in education

15 de novembro de 2017

by Nathália Horvath

I usually find myself looking for formulas or easy ways to solve these little problems we come across in life, such as a way to fix something on my smartphone that is not working properly or how to use a specific tool to make my job easier. In this regard, the internet has helped us...Read More

What do you know about what you know?

14 de novembro de 2017

by Henrick Oprea

For the past few years, I’ve been drawn into the world of cognitive sciences and what learning is, what it entails, and how the brain works. To my mind, all teachers should have sound knowledge on the way the brain functions as it is the brain the ultimate place we work on. How could you...Read More

Teacher training in new Technologies Part 2

11 de novembro de 2017

In my last post I wrote about the recognition of an increasingly technological society that must be accompanied by the awareness of the need to include the skills and competences to deal with the new technologies in school curricula. In this second part, I will focus on the competences of the teacher for the 21st century,...Read More

Authorship in teaching and learning

30 de setembro de 2017

by Marcela Cintra

Discussing creativity in English language teaching and learning has definitely contributed to many of the changes we have already observed in our field – both in the classroom and in teacher education. However, some teaching contexts are definitely dependent on more controlled approaches – sometimes because of teachers’ beliefs, sometimes because of school programmes, parents’ influence....Read More
