Braz-TESOL #1 - Dynamic Speaking Activities

Posted by Joyce Fettermann on July 28, 2010

The 12th Braz-TESOL National Convention was held in São Paulo, at Escola Beit Yacov. Brilliant educators were there to talk to us teachers of English who loved the talks, workshops and mini courses we attended.I saw many good things that I will adapt to my classes, but something which is really good is that I noticed one more time I'm in the right path, doing what I have done as a teacher.One of the workshops I apreciated a lot was with Jane Godwin Coury. She took great tips to work speaking and

Your Example Is The One Who You Admire

Posted by Sharifa Bahri (SkoonAlBahr) on July 24, 2010

Everyone has his/her own example. That person may be your mother, father, sister, brother, teacher, or even your friend. Your example is the one who inspires you to achieve your goal. Your example is the supportive one who urges you on. Your example is the one who you admire. You admire how that person behaves. You admire how that person is successful. You admire the way that person copes with life. You admire how that person gets the better of all the obstacles. You admire how that person perfo

Thoughts from Brazil

Posted by Joyce Fettermann on July 21, 2010

“The more you talk, the better you get. It depends on you!”Wanting to share with us a little bit of what is happening in the English Language learning in Brazil, Daniel Emerson goes to São Paulo, which is a cultural center, and interviews teachers and students to know how young learners and teenagers can be helped to communicate better in English. “Thoughts from Brazil” is a great video and shows the best way kids can learn: playing.

"Friendship is one mind in two bodies." --Menclus

My Friend: Steve, a professor from England

How we became friends: He was a patient of mine. Steve never thought he would have to have an operation in a country far from his until he suffered from an acute abdominal condition when he taught in a university of China. He said it was my English that helped him decide to undergo surgery in another county.

Why we stayed friends: When he was in hospital, he found that I was not only a professional doctor,

Learn how to ask a 'question'

Posted by Expector Smith on May 6, 2010

It can be a challenge to ask a 'question' correctly, especially for learners who usually fail to ask a correct one when they try to do so. Don't get me wrong - 'question' here means a 'question sentence'.So let's practise asking questions here. Your task:1. In the comment section, you can write:--'yes/no' question or closed question, such as: Do you think so?--'wh'-question or open question, such as: What do you think of my suggestion?2. Before you write your question, you can try to answer one

Posted by Mayumi on May 5, 2010

Every time an English question pop up into my mind, I write it down in my notebook. Whether it is related to grammar or words that have to find meanings or just common expressions that I would like to incorporate to my own pile of vocabularies. What I do especially in understanding grammar rules is after I write it I don't consult yet grammar books..I ask first two or three of the members of MyEC co-members and friends who I know knowledgeable with these matter..Then I study what they have said
