Teacher Development

Developing professionalism – part 1

30 de janeiro de 2017

We have all been there: first day at work, first day in a new job, first day with new coursebook, new group, many ‘new’ situations throughout our careers. There will always be a first in our path and from my experience, the most successful moments have been those when I had the support from peers or leaders...Read More

“A teacher who loves learning earns the right and the ability to help others learn.” ― Ruth Beechick, An Easy Start in Arithmetic, Grades K-3 In my last post, I talked about writing. The reason why I wrote about it is because I write, and writing is my journey into the core of the English language. The...Read More

Teacher Development 2: Lesson Observation, part 2

19 de janeiro de 2017

by Higor Cavalcante

As I said in my previous post on lesson observation, I don’t see lesson observation as police work, i.e. observers should never simply walk into teachers’ classes unannounced to observe them. Therefore, the way I see it, observation should always be done in three stages: pre-observation meeting (when observer and observed discuss the group, the...Read More

Diary of a Freelance Teacher: Reasons to be cheerful

12 de janeiro de 2017

by Stephen Greene

In December last year, there was a particularly popular chat on Facebook hosted by the wonderful people at Brazil ELT (BRELT) on being a private teacher. The end of the academic year is always a time for change, and so lots of teachers might be thinking about striking out on their own. It’s almost exactly...Read More

30 de dezembro de 2016

by Marcela Cintra

Many of us start in the career by incidentally deciding to ‘temporarily’ teach the language we know while we choose what to do about our professional lives.

12 de dezembro de 2016

by Stephen Greene

Dear Diary, I haven’t written much on here for the last few months. The two main reasons for this are a lack of time and inspiration. The lack of time is never going to change, and I suspect this is the same for most people no matter what job they do, how big or small...Read More

What should come first: CAE or CELTA? A B.A. or improving my language proficiency?

5 de dezembro de 2016

by Natália Guerreiro

I’ll admit to having mixed feelings about this, but I’ve reached that age when I’ve turned into a kind of Agony Aunt to my younger colleagues and friends. The 20-somethings come to me with their career choices and, boy, do they ask difficult questions! Their fork in the road often goes along the lines of,...Read More

Teaching older people new tricks

3 de dezembro de 2016

by Dominic Walters

One phenomenon I have noticed over the past two years is the noticeable rise in the number of ‘elderly’ people wanting to have English lessons (by ‘elderly’ I am using the US Census bureau’s definition of anyone over the age of 65). A combination of factors have probably led to this increase in interest. These factors are...Read More

Follow the yellow brick road: building a career in ELT

1 de dezembro de 2016

by Marcela Cintra

We all start teaching for different reasons and we keep teaching for even more diverse reasons sometimes. Besides, each of us will encounter a unique variety of professionals that will inspire us to be greater and others that may help us question our career choices. There seems to be no yellow brick road to follow,...Read More
