About me

Hello everyone! My name is Gilda Lucía Córdoba. I'm from Aimogasta La Rioja and I've been working as a teacher for 21years now. 

First, I finished my studies to be a translator and over the years I took up the teaching traing college and graduated in 2014. At the moment, I'm attending the Licenciatura at CAECE university, this is my second term and this blog has been created to keep record of my writings of a subject called EAP (English for Academic Purposes).

Even though starting a higher level career conveys quite a big challenge, that is why I chose this name for my blog, as a teacher, I consider that updating our knowledge is a must, not only to enhance our teaching performance, but also to keep growing in terms of learning. 

Last but not least, there's a well-known quote that says: "If you can dream it, you can achieve it", that is my motto in life.

Hope I can achieve all my goals and wish all of you the very best. 

Thanks for reading.

Getting Acquainted with the Classroom

    Dolk, M & Den Hertog, J. (2008) Narratives in teacher education , Interactive Learning Environments , 16:3, 215-229, DOI: 10.1080/10494820802113970  In this article, Dolk and Den Hertog first reflect on the constraints prospective teachers find in connecting theory and practice. Thus, they consider it is essential to gain experience in real contexts and take reflection as an upmost condition for learning. In this account, they reveal how teacher trainees develop narratives of pragmatic classroom experiences in primary teacher education using a digital environment, i.e. observing and analysing footage evidence recorded in the classroom (Maths lessons). The authors give evidence on the student teachers’ motivation and the different perspectives they acquire all along the process by means of perceiving every occurrence during the classes, which influences on the trainees’ impressions and on the way they report on every event of each recording. This approach has bee...

An In-Depth Look to Rethink and Change our Teaching Practice

    Doing Action Research in English Language Teaching: A Guide for Practitioners by Anne Burns (2010) is a practical resource compiling an analysis of the different steps for conducting Action Research (AR).

This book is targeted at practitioners covering many issues related to AR, however, some expert readers might find a few weak points concerning language and organization of the contents. This critique aims to analyse the instances in which the author has provided readers with both valuable and redundant information. As regards organization, this easy-to-read book is divided into five chapters, each one explores the broad phases in an AR project cycle, engaging teachers to think and reflect upon their practices. The first chapter clearly defines the action r...
