The School of the 21st Century

6 de junho de 2018

Just like many readers of this blog, I was born and raised in the pre Google era. Actually, I am not sure there really is such a historical division, but I truly recommend one for those studying history. The world has dramatically changed after Google, and these changes have affected a lot of areas, including...Read More

Developing professionally in your work place – What does that mean to you?

15 de abril de 2018

by Lenora Haranaka

We all want a positive work environment where we feel safe to share our ideas, projects, concerns, and challenges… where we can offer and seek advice aiming at a greater good: helping learners reach their goals and becoming the best possible professional we can become. Right – that’s a lovely goal. How can we make...Read More

How can we empower our female students?

13 de março de 2018

by Gabriela Fróes

We have recently celebrated Women’s Day. As I walked to and from work this last week, I kept thinking about the female students that I have. Their names sometimes carry a lot of meaning: the victorious Vitoria. The brave Valentina. Lucia, full of light. This reminded me of Esperanza, a strong female character from a...Read More

A matter of balance – Follow up

2 de fevereiro de 2018

by elainehodgson

A couple of months ago, I wrote about the lack of balance in the past BRAZ-TESOL conferences as far as gender was concerned. Just to refresh our memories, the results were the following[1]: As I stated at the time, it was (and is) not a matter of pointing fingers and finding culprits, but of trying...Read More

An ELT Teacher – A Profession or Occupation?

24 de janeiro de 2018

by Adriano Zanetti

We language educators often get asked what else we do apart from teaching English. Now, this takes the biscuits on the grounds that some people are hell-bent on this to mystify whether we take our profession seriously or not. It is generally known that an L2 teacher is supposed to be someone graduated, qualified or...Read More

On empathy

9 de novembro de 2017

by Rubens Heredia

I was reading about an interesting initiative called The Empathy Museum that is coming to my hometown (you can find out more about it here) and caught myself thinking about the times I put my foot in my mouth. Then, new windows opened in my mind’s browser and I started wondering about the (probably many)...Read More

Teaching and Training with New Technologies – Part 1

11 de agosto de 2017

by Roseli Serra

I have always been fascinated by technology. And when I met Ana Maria Menezes[1], my mentor in this area, I realised that I would never teach or train teachers the same way. So my beliefs about teaching and training have changed completely. Having been a member of the LT SIG[2] in the IATEFL [3] and have...Read More

What Students Can(n’t) Do with Tests

25 de novembro de 2016

by Teresa Carvalho

Much has been written and said about tests. A lot of teachers, students, and parents don’t see the point of tests, especially when all tests do is test discrete items of grammar and vocabulary , especially when it comes to summative tests, which assess what students have learned over a period of time. I myself don’t believe in...Read More

Reflecting about motivation and students

23 de janeiro de 2016

by cecilialemos

In a recent PD afternoon I attended, before the closing of the event the main speaker had a Q&A session with the audience, answering questions about teaching English in general. One of the questions stuck to my mind: “How can we motivate our learners?” The question is not new to any teacher. It has been...Read More

The No-Easy Task of Giving Novice Teachers Negative Feedback

19 de setembro de 2015

by Edmilson Chagas

Today’s post is about giving negative feedback during pre-service teacher training courses for novice teachers. I am quite sure that a very large number of this blog’s writers – if not all of us – have, at one point or another, been involved with the difficult and highly demanding job of training teachers. Not only...Read More
