For a Motivated New Year

9 de fevereiro de 2016
by Rubens Heredia
A lot is said in the literature about students’ motivation and how important a role it plays in a healthy and effective classroom environment. With the beginning of the academic year in Brazil, I’d like to take this opportunity to look at how we can keep our own motivation levels high throughout the year. After...Read More

Giving Novice Teachers Negative Feedback After Teaching Practice Sessions – Part II

20 de janeiro de 2016
by Edmilson Chagas
It is over four months today since I last posted an article on the blog. 2015 was not particularly what I’d call a smooth year due to a lot of reasons; however, since it is important to focus on the gains rather than the losses, despite the bumps along last year’s path, it’s time to roll up...Read More

Então, mais um ano se passou. Se você for como eu, vai olhar para as resoluções do ano anterior (aquelas que você escreveu ainda em 2014) e ver que não conseguiu cumprir boa parte delas. A tão sonhada forma física, o curso de desenho artístico e a viagem à Fernando de Noronha em 2015, por...Read More

Tips for teaching Teens

9 de novembro de 2015
by Rubens Heredia
Teenagers are and will always be a strong presence in the ELT classroom, be it in the school system or in language institutes. However, they end up being the middle children of the English teaching world. A lot has been written about teaching adults and children, but I find it really hard to find materials...Read More

#PocketPD: Digital Literacy in Small Doses for Educators

29 de outubro de 2015
by Carla Arena
I still remember when I considered productive having a big room full of teachers for a training session on computer skills. It is still vivid in my mind the beginning of Google in which I’d have trainings with teachers on “How to effectively use Google Search”. Were you there when Geocities was around? That was...Read More

A vida não é um cursinho de inglês…

22 de outubro de 2015
by Marcelo de Cristo
Esta semana, surfando na internet, me deparei com um meme bastante bem humorado que me chamou a atenção, arrancando aquele sorriso típico de quem admite para si mesmo: ‘genial!’ Eis aqui o dito cujo: Não obstante o riso quase que inevitável, por de trás do bom humor (através de um símile que faz alusão ao estereótipo...Read More

Is teaching a lonely profession?

9 de agosto de 2015
by Rubens Heredia
Is teaching a lonely profession? Teaching, in all its forms, is an activity that requires social interaction, and this chance to interact with people while playing a role in their development is probably among the most common reasons that draw people to our profession. Nonetheless, many teachers with whom I talk to share the impression...Read More

– “Seminars and conferences? No, thanks. Been there, done that, took a selfie. I’ve seen it all.”

20 de julho de 2015
by Edmilson Chagas
If, like me, you have been in the field of TEFL for what I choose to call a substantial amount of time, you have probably (over)heard teachers, or even work colleagues say, “I’ve participated in so many seminars and conferences that I really don’t see the point of keeping attending them anymore. I’ve seen it...Read More

TTT: the good, the bad and the ugly!

9 de junho de 2015
by Rubens Heredia
Gone are the days when teachers were the sole source of knowledge. The Internet has revolutionised society by granting everyone access to the information, meaning that listening to a teacher talking on and on about a topic is not only unnecessary but actually rather boring. It is therefore inevitable that teachers reflect upon their role...Read More
