Bico – Teaching as an occupation to fall back on?

5 de junho de 2016

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

Among the many terms related to finding work opportunities one hears nowadays, networking must be at the top of the list. Being able to network efficiently is considered a key strategy for both personal and professional success. Although the definition of professional networking will vary slightly, and the idea of personal and professional success will...Read More

Achieving higher

30 de maio de 2016

by Marcela Cintra

In ELT we often say we joined the field to help others and we take pride in seeing our students achieve higher, being successful using English. Some of us stay true to this ‘dream profession’ full of challenge and growth for both learners and teachers. Others give up, others just do it for fun. It...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

Hi! I’m Cecilia, and I am a Bilingual Teacher of English

24 de maio de 2016

by cecilialemos

Last month I was very fortunate to be able to attend the 50th IATEFL International Conference in Birmingham, the UK. As most it usually happens when it comes to conferences, it was possible to “catch” a few issues / topics that stood out in the conference – because of plenaries, sessions or just the talk...Read More

The Best Ever…

12 de maio de 2016

by Stephen Greene

I was teaching a class last week in which we revised superlatives. I hadn’t intended to do this, but it came up in conversation and I had to think of some way to practise ‘The best/worst ever…’ We ended up telling each other stories about what had happened to us in our careers and...Read More

Giving (and Receiving) Feedback

6 de maio de 2016

by Ricardo Barros

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about giving and receiving feedback. One of the reasons for that was a conversation with my friend Priscila Mateini on receiving negative feedback and dealing with failure. In addition, because of the nature of my job as a Celta tutor, I’m constantly giving feedback to teachers. Some of what...Read More

And you know what else, she’s a Carioca

5 de maio de 2016

by Natália Guerreiro

I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. Now that’s something to be proud of: not only did I survive (mostly unscathed) one of the world’s most dangerous cities, but I also get beaming smiles and even hear some bossa nova tunes when I tell foreigners that’s where I’m from. So being from Rio...Read More

Choose to excel

30 de março de 2016

by Marcela Cintra

I believe that settling for less than extraordinary is not for English language teachers. We will definitely have ordinary days and teach lessons that are not necessarily extraordinary; this is necessary for us to notice the special moments in our careers. However, by embracing teaching as a profession, questioning what we do routinely or even...Read More

Let go the idea that teachers have to be perfect.

“If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously!” Cate Blanchett 1 It was a group of six prospective students from a well-known multinational company in São Paulo. It was back in the day when VCRs were cutting-edge technology, so we had a brand new one at our school. We’d specially bought...Read More
