The art of process writing assessment

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

Power To The Music

24 de fevereiro de 2018

by Adriano Zanetti

Power To The Music It is funny how people (students) may instantly think of CCR’s ‘Have you ever seen the rain?’ when you start off a conversation with the chunk ‘Have you ever Blahed?’. Have you ever (seen the rain? – lol) stopped and thought how powerful music can be in terms of learning opportunities?...Read More

Small ways to give up control

29 de novembro de 2017

by Isabela Villas Boas

One of the best features of my job is that I get to observe teachers in their second semester in the language institute where I work. In their first semester, they go through a mentoring process and are then observed by two other academic specialists. These observations usually go very well. The teachers are very...Read More

4 de agosto de 2017

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

Planning our first lesson can be daunting, but it gets better with time. Our anxiety is really high, because, as everybody knows, we want to be liked. What’s more, we always want to start off on the right foot. So, how do you plan your first lesson? I start by drawing up a plan...Read More

Using Inversions in your lessons

4 de junho de 2017

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

One of the greatest barriers I have come to face, language wise, was the very often asked question: “Am I going to use this in my ‘real-life’?” or “How useful is this?” I have realised that students have been getting to advanced levels without using more sophisticated vocabulary/grammar structures.

Write Right, Right? Write, It Is All About CPD

24 de março de 2017

by Adriano Zanetti

It might ‘cost you dear’! That is what we generally hear when people talk about investing time and money in learning a foreign language. By the same token, professional teachers are usually judged by how qualified they are in the teaching community and investing time and money on CPD seminars seems pretty much the way...Read More
