A note from me | Scottx5's Blog
https://scottx5.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/a-note-from-me
A note from me. The branch clinic oncologists have been quite successful at sustaining my low opinion of them and now that the Patient Concerns person who represents the whole Provincial institute has shut me down I’m going into no-speaking mode. They want me to be silent, “respectful” and submissive and do it by constantly judging my comments, “correcting” my understandings and shitting on my feelings, so shut-down time. To my medical care-takers. January 13, 2015 at 6:38 AM. Always Apologizing ». I rea...

My Reflection of teaching and learning. Monthly Archives: April 2015. Next stop, 49TH IATEFL – some reflections of a memorable conference. I would like to share with you, how it was my first time at Iatefl two weeks ago. Well, it is a mix of feelings, that it will be so tough to describe into words, but I will try my best. Why would I be afraid of flying? They shared with me their expectations on French teaching context and, I shared mine as well. Of course I would like to attend other talks and workshop...

My Reflection of teaching and learning. Teacher Training… You can fly beyond. 8220;Knowledge is learning something every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day.” Zen Proverb.

Grade), I didn’t have any training at all, my first day at the school was a disaster, I couldn’t control the students, I...

My Reflection of teaching and learning. Monthly Archives: August 2015. In fact, this talk was to help them to improve themselves to learn by observing. Not observing my talk, but each other. There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing and be nothing Aristotle. That time, when I came back to University, I really understood what it was walking in my students’ shoes (when my Adult students try to explain how they feel about learning a new language, I can really relate.) It is tough...

When less is more! A lesson taught by a child. | pmateini's Blog
https://pmateini.wordpress.com/2015/05/23/when-less-is-more-a-lesson-taught-by-a-child
My Reflection of teaching and learning. When less is more! A lesson taught by a child. Another day, I was in class with my students when one of them said something like “Oh, come on, Teacher! No more homework, I have many stuff to be done this weekend” and he continued telling me his errands. When he finished, I told him “wow, what a weekend! Hum, let’s do something, at the end of the class we talk again, ok? 8220;It is pretty hard to be a child today”. She is just 8 years old. Thus, I decided to talk to...

My Reflection of teaching and learning. Ilá Coimbra tackles the native v non-native teacher debate. Worth reading post by Ila Coimbra – #brelt. BrELT - Brazil's English Language Teachers. Whether we like it or not, the distinction between native and non-native teachers is often made. Ilá Coimbra tactfully dealt with this thorny issue for the latest Braz-TESOL Newsletter. Is it a myth that students prefer native speakers? When less is more! A lesson taught by a child. Observe to learn ». You are commentin...

One little bird… Reflecting about my presentations | pmateini's Blog
https://pmateini.wordpress.com/2014/09/16/one-little-bird-reflectings-of-a-year-full-of-presentations
My Reflection of teaching and learning. One little bird… Reflecting about my presentations. 8220;My voice is in tune with a different language, another kind of music. It speaks of resistance, indignation, the just anger of those who are deceived and betrayed. It speaks, too, of their right to rebel against the ethical transgressions of which they are the long-suffering victims.” Paulo Freire. And here it is. At first I felt really scared. How could I present this topic to experienced teachers? Far away f...
