Teachers helping each other

Hello again everybody,

For about a month I've been participating on a website of printables. And I'd really like to recommend it to you all. The idea of the site is: in order to download something, you have to upload something. It sounds like a lot of work at first, but it's not. After you get used to the way the site works, it's pretty easy to get some points and make downloads.

There is also a forum there where you can ask your questions and share some ideas.

Hope you all like it.

A little about Curitiba

I was wondering how to start and came up with the idea of showing you where I come from. But better than me to talk about my city, is this newspaper.

http://www.curitibainenglish.com.br/

It's for free and the quality of the material is amazing. So, if you are a teacher in Curitiba, it's a good idea to show your students more about the city. And if you're not, a great opportunity to show them the city with the best bus system!!

Have fun!!

Tongue twisters!!





A very interesting activity using tongue twisters. It helps the student with the pronunciation of various sounds of English.

Starting!!!

Good morning everybody!

I'd like to first introduce myself and say a little bit of what I'll be doing here in this blog.

My name's Ramon and I've been working as an English teacher for almost 6 years. I also work as a pedagogical coordinator since the beginning of 2009. I love teaching but as I work for small schools, sometimes I miss having other teachers to talk and discuss about things related to teaching and language in general.

So, that's my idea for the blog, a place where we can discuss various themes related to ELT and also, I'll be posting some worksheets and ideas for everybody to use in their class.


Hope we can all have fun!!


Regards,
Ramon
