About Me

Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

Canterbury Summer Course


At last, you might say...

Ya, I guess it will be worthwhile... at least I hope so.
To remember the course and the teachers of English I got to know last July in Canterbury, Kent / UK, I'm posting two pictures of the group with our fantastic teacher trainer, Judit Feher. In the first one we are in a pub (Thomas Becket) and in the second, we are in the classroom (only Christoph cannot be seen because he was the one who took the picture). Now, remember Zeze singing "fado"??? Please, watch the video I'm publishing: it is sung by a male choir in a monastery that had long been closed for restoration work. The Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha is located in Coimbra, my hometown, and after 700 years music can again be heard there...
Enjoy!

HI Alex, it´s Cristina here

Thank u very much for uploading these pictures from our course in Canterbury, they bring me such nice memories...we did have a really good time there, ah? and we learnt many useful things, too, or at least this is my opinion. I very much like your blog in general, it provides many good ideas and topics too. You´re doing a really hard and good job, teacher. Keep on like that. A big kiss for you.
