A helping hand

9 de junho de 2014

We often wish for a helping hand in our careers; that generous supervisor, coordinator or colleague who will set goals for our development, introduce us to the right people, invite us to embark on different waters and acknowledge our strengths and talents. We hope that this one mentor will spot our gifts, give us an...Read More

My kid wants to be a teacher. Now what?

by elainehodgson

I must have mentioned before on this blog that I teach adolescents in their last year of High School. Needless to say, this is a period of great anxiety as most of them intend to go to university and now have to choose a career. It is the time when most of them realise that...Read More

Teacher Development & Teachers’ Associations

1 de junho de 2014

by Michele Schwertner

I always say that one of the things I like the most about teaching is that I’m always learning. And I’m quite sure I’m not the only one… We teachers learn a lot not only from our students and from fellow teachers but also from what we read, from conferences we attend, and so on....Read More

Teaching children is not a “anyone-can-do” sort of job

17 de maio de 2014

Trying to respond to a high demand for English instruction, English schools pop up everywhere, without a proper control from the government in relation to the educational background of the teachers who will work in such schools. Called “cursos livres” by the Ministry of Education, they are not part of the regular school system, which...Read More

I was supposed to have published this post on May the 01st. As I knew I was going to be in João Pessoa for the 14th BRAZ-TESOL International Conference, I really wanted my post to be about teacher development – mainly about attending conferences. I had even read some articles and blog posts on it...Read More

By the time this post is published, I will have spent two days in the lovely city of João Pessoa where, as most of you know, the 14th BRAZ-TESOL International Conference is being held. This will be my 7th BRAZ-TESOL Conference. While I was packing I began asking myself: What motivated me to go? Why...Read More

Can they have been being seized?

19 de abril de 2014

by Higor Cavalcante

Hello everyone! I want to start this month’s post apologizing for my… silence last month. I’ve got only myself to blame – anyone writing about organization skills out there? – and can just promise it won’t happen again. Scout’s honor. So let me pick up from where we left off last time: I ended by...Read More

Are Teachers Responsible for Enrollment Numbers?

8 de abril de 2014

by Anderson Maia

Today’s competitive English Teaching market has demanded a new responsibility from teachers: supporting their institution’s marketing strategies. Although teacher education programs for EFL practitioners do not include marketing or promotion strategies, many language teachers are held accountable for students who choose to drop out, for those who choose to continue studying, and for supporting the...Read More

The perks and perils of being a private teacher

1 de abril de 2014

by Michele Schwertner

After having taught at several different schools for a long long time, I’ve been teaching private classes for a while now. I’ve decided to do so so that I could have more flexibility and more time to study and work on different projects. Needless to say, teaching private classes has its own features. Sometimes I...Read More

An A-Z of Dysfunctional ELT (P is for …)

30 de março de 2014

by Dennis Warren

Well, first, apologies to Scott Thornbury for ‘borrowing’ and distorting his title. This is the closest I’ll ever get to his altitude, so forgive my mutant magpie-Icarus act. I present to you the first of the series An A-Z of Dysfunctional ELT – the art of getting things wrong, again and again. Each month, I’ll take a...Read More
