How Much Is Brazilian

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Brazilians are learning English all over the country, for various reasons and with diverse goals. In this text, I would like to approach some very common deviations to standard English dialects, such as General American and Received Pronunciation, by Brazilian speakers. I have chosen to address some problems in phonetics and pronunciation that are the most frequent in my classes.

Laura Payne Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas I am currently working as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan. Before I began this job I assumed that because Japan has a largely homogeneous population, all of my classes would be monolingual. However, I was wrong in this assumption.

This diverse student population, in addition to my work experiences and studies, has taught me a lot about working with both monolingual and multilingual classes. In the few monolingual classes that I teach, it is fairly easy to anticipate and resolve problems that students might have with...  [Read more]

Rhea Latchu Destinations Alumni Experiences With an emerging economy and a globalized society, is there a better choice than the continent of South America to work as an EFL teacher? The cultures of South American countries are welcoming and warm. As a continent, they are known for their sensual dances, delicious food, and friendly people.
