Assessment in CLIL and bilingual education: more than just language

27 de janeiro de 2018

EFL teachers that change into a bilingual education environment, often tend to forget that they are not teaching language as the primary goal anymore and that has dramatic implications.

Looking back, looking ahead and looking beyond: Why professional development matters

18 de janeiro de 2018

by Teresa Carvalho

When I earned my degree in Linguistics from college many years back, the only thing I had in mind was continuing teaching English and preparing my own materials. At the time it seemed to be a sensible thing to do. So, I kept teaching one-on-one classes for many years and I enjoyed every bit of...Read More

5 de janeiro de 2018

by Natália Guerreiro

“What’s the meaning of…” seems to be a perfectly innocent question. But language is never innocent, is it? I give you exhibit A, the word white-shoe: According to The American Heritage, “white-shoe adj.

The challenge of wearing two hats

29 de dezembro de 2017

by Isabela Villas Boas

My whole formal educational background is academic, from my B.A. in Journalism, to my master’s in Teaching English as a Second Language and my doctorate in Education.

The Challenge of embracing Challenges – part 1

16 de dezembro de 2017

by Lenora Haranaka

I was looking for an inspiring article about motivation when I came across Bruce Dixon’s entitled ‘The Value of a Cold Shower’. It starts by questioning the kind of expectations we have when we attend the opening keynote at a conference.
