Why Are We Beating Around The Bush?

17 de fevereiro de 2020

The musical hit series Glee aired between 2009 and 2015. I remember watching it and thinking to myself: “What a wonderful and necessary series!”. Like most of Ryan Murphy’s work, there’s a lot of representation in it. And the fact that it focuses on teenagers making through high school makes it even more special as...Read More

Are We to Blame For Our Teenage Students’ Indiscipline?

18 de novembro de 2019

by Henrique Zamboni

It’s expected that experienced teachers’ classes will be more peaceful and freer of problems than novices’. But let’s be honest: no matter how long you’ve been working in ELT (English Language Teaching), there will always be difficulties, since we are dealing with people. That alone already means facing the unexpected on a daily basis, not...Read More

Do You Shy Away From Shy Students?

16 de outubro de 2019

by Henrique Zamboni

It goes without saying that teachers of teenagers often worry about how fun and dynamic classes must be so as to keep students engaged and motivated.

8 de agosto de 2019

by Marcela Harrisberger

My third piece of advice is to cultivate a sense of empathy – to put yourself in other people’s shoes – to see the world from their eyes. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world. Barack Obama Empathy is ‘the art of stepping imaginatively into the shoes of another person, understanding...Read More

Let’s Face the Music: A Song Project With Teens

16 de julho de 2019

by Henrique Zamboni

Students’ real-world contact with English plays hands down a more realistic role in the development of their skills, rather than the few hours they spend in the classroom. Taking this into account, it is high time teachers worked as mediators between learners and their (desirable) daily exposure to the language. But is it enough to...Read More

The X Factor in Teaching Teens

16 de junho de 2019

by Henrique Zamboni

Have you ever changed your lesson plan (or part of it) halfway through due to students’ lack of engagement?

2 de junho de 2019

by Lenora Haranaka

Taking the DELTA has changed me as a teacher in many ways, but I believe that it has most influenced the way I perceive and teach listening. I first came across the term ‘decoding’ when my dear tutor Melissa Lamb from IH London introduced me to John Field’s book ‘Listening in the Language Classroom’. Later...Read More

16 de maio de 2019

by Henrique Zamboni

When the subject is teaching teenagers, there is always a cloud hanging over teachers’ heads. This cloud has a name and it is quite a familiar one: behaviour. As a rule of thumb, when we have a couple of teenagers together in one room, there will eventually be distraction, standing up, talking (or yelling), paper...Read More
