Language is a skin!

Roland Barthes


"Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire."



Maiza Fatureto - Beyond the limits of the English Class Lecture



FOCUS OF AWARENESS


This lecture was perfect for the opening of prodocencia because it led us to, simultaneously think of our career and pass through an overview about our beliefs towards teaching and learning, besides having memorable moments. Everything was worth indeed. But, one sentence from all have called my attention and should be, for all teachers, a hallmark. It is:

What is the biggest room in the world?

The room of improving.



So, let´s improve our knowledge of life, of teaching, of learning with teaching, with students, colleagues. Let´s improve our souls.

English language in my life!


Since I first listened to an English teacher I fell in love with this language. So, I decided to begin studying it very young. I am still learning it. I am still in love with it.

English language is in my blood and due to it, my three daughters have the same passion for it. Isn´t it, at least, interesting? As an English teacher I have become, I learn more than I teach. That is the outstanding point of it.
