Teacher Development Workshops: A recipe for success?

15 de dezembro de 2015

One of the best parts of my job is working with other teachers. This can be anything from a one-off 60-minute workshop, to a whole year of regular sessions with everything in between. There are many ways of approaching this work with a variety of names that all suggest a slight difference in focus: teacher...Read More

Are boys better than girls at science and mathematics?

by Carol Lethaby

Sorry, I haven’t posted a blog for a while – I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone by. In this post I want to return to the theme of supposed sex differences between how and what children learn and look at the other side of the coin. If girls are supposedly better than...Read More

Leading a group of learners

30 de novembro de 2015

by Marcela Cintra

I’m very fond of anecdotes, so here’s one of my favourite teaching moments: fifteen years ago, a young student told me that there were men, women, children and teachers in the world, setting us apart from the other members of society. Little did I know then what she meant. We are all humans, but if...Read More

I Want An Alien For Christmas! An Alien English Speaker!

24 de novembro de 2015

by Adriano Zanetti

I have recently embarked on a little adventure of leaving my language-centre-teaching comfort zone and teaching regular schools in the State Public School System. Little did I know how much ground one still needs to cover when facing such challenge. Especially, when you hear the utterances that give this text its very title. I have...Read More

22 de novembro de 2015

by Marcelo de Cristo

Todo estudante de língua estrangeira sonha com o tempo em que estará falando “fluentemente” o idioma escolhido. Dentre os principais mitos citados no artigo 7 conceitos de fluência e o que você deveria saber a respeito dela, um dos mais frequentes é o de que ser fluente significa falar sem pausas. E não é pra...Read More

A Great British Teacher

12 de novembro de 2015

by Stephen Greene

A true story… 10pm last Monday. I was just finishing off a 2-hour class with 4 students when one of them says ‘You are a great teacher!’ Despite my ego being suitably massaged I want more. It is, after all, late on a Monday night after I have been teaching from 7am. So I ask...Read More

Tips for teaching Teens

9 de novembro de 2015

by Rubens Heredia

Teenagers are and will always be a strong presence in the ELT classroom, be it in the school system or in language institutes. However, they end up being the middle children of the English teaching world. A lot has been written about teaching adults and children, but I find it really hard to find materials...Read More

Yesterday, the results of an interesting study (the National Study of Online Charter Schools) were released. The findings are particularly relevant to all those involved in education (teachers, lawmakers, education providers, etc). The report, from researchers at the University of Washington, Stanford University and the Mathematica policy research group, found that those students doing online...Read More

Are our teenage students learning English for today or for tomorrow?

8 de outubro de 2015

by Isabela Villas Boas

At the school I work for, we have a large teenage population. If you’ve taught this age level, you know the challenges they pose to us every day, but you also cherish the lively interactions with them once you’ve established rapport. It is true that in order to establish such rapport, we have to be...Read More

by Beatriz Meneguetti

It’s amazing how things happen in life. Learning English has always been a passion for me and this is what I want to pass on to my students, but we never know if this is actually achievable… Well, other day I was taking part in a social event when a woman, accompanied by her husband,...Read More
