Page history last edited by Ronaldo Lima Jr 13 years, 7 months ago

I have been involved with ELT (English Language Teaching) since I was 16 years old, when I got my first job as an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) instructor. When I was 18, I started working at the school where I learned English: the binational center Casa Thomas Jefferson, in Brasília, Brazil, and that is where I currently work, but now not only as an EFL Teacher, but also as a Teacher Trainer and Course Supervisor.

 

I have a BA in TESOL (Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages) and American and British Literature from the University of Brasília, an MA in Applied Linguistics from the same university, and I am currently taking a PhD in Linguistics at UnB as well. For my master's I conducted an action classroom research which investigated the effects of explicit pronunciation teaching in the Brazilian EFL classroom and for my doctorate I am looking into the Critical Period Hypothesis and the acquisition of EFL Phonolgy by Brazilian learners.

 

Besides my interest in pronunciation teaching/learning and second language acquisition processes, I am an enthusiast about technology-enhanced language teaching/learning. I am part of the Webheads in Action and Learning With Computers networks, among others.

 

You can also connect to me through twitter, facebook, flickr and linkedin and you can read more about me and my work on my blog (for edtech), my wiki (about phonetics and phonology) and my Lattes Curriculum.
