Bilingual education – the path to a new school

27 de março de 2018
by Carlos Henrique Trindade
When Ofelia Garcia in her book Bilingual Education in the 21st Century – a Global Perspective  states that “bilingual education is the only possible education in the 21st century”, what does she mean by that? Is she saying that she envisages a future with only bilingual schools? Bilingual Education, for a lot of people, is...Read More

by Lenora Haranaka
Williams and Burden (2010: 202) beautifully state that “Language classrooms in particular need to be places where learners are encouraged to use the new language to communicate, to try out new ways of expressing meanings, to negotiate, to make mistakes without fear, and to learn to learn from successes and failures.

Is motivation intrinsic or extrinsic?

by Beatriz Solino de Francisco

I distinctly remember this, because it has changed the way think about motivation. It is connected to emotion, as what drives...Read More

A matter of balance – Follow up

by elainehodgson
A couple of months ago, I wrote about the lack of balance in the past BRAZ-TESOL conferences as far as gender was concerned. Just to refresh our memories, the results were the following[1]: As I stated at the time, it was (and is) not a matter of pointing fingers and finding culprits, but of trying...Read More
