Revisiting ELT Mantras #8: 4 types of phrasal verbs

14 de outubro de 2014

by Damian Willians

As a Native English-Speaking Teacher (NEST) who didn’t learn any English grammar at school, it wasn’t until I started training as a teacher and then teaching that I really started to get to grips with the English grammatical – and later lexical – system. In fact, I don’t think there’s ever been a point where...Read More

26 de setembro de 2014

by Ben Goldstein

In my last post here I looked at a monologue from a non-native speaker of English, Dani and analysed what made him a proficient, fluent speaker (see A lot from a little V).

Storytelling vs. Reading to oneself

21 de agosto de 2014

by Thalya Goldfeld

Many times when hearing story, students will not understand every word being spoken. Many times students can deduce the meaning from the context of the story.

The Listening Skill – Part 2

11 de abril de 2014

by Roseli Serra

“Listening is the Cinderella skill in second language learning”. (Nunan, 2005). For many years, listening skills were not prioritized in language teaching. Teaching methods emphasized productive skills, and the relationship between receptive and productive skills was poorly understood. Richards (2005) provides a clear description of how listening comprehension is achieved by native or non-native listeners....Read More
