This is the BT Rio Chapter Podcast episode 17! I’m your host Stephan Hughes and this cast is the first of our series called Overcoming Challenges in Education - Meeting with the speakers. This is a chance to talk a little more with the teachers who presented in our chapter event on July 4 and 5 2020 about their presentations and about other useful tips they can share with our listeners on teaching practice and on teacher development.

Our guest today holds a degree in languages (English and Portuguese) and a post-graduation course in Portuguese as a foreign language from PUC. She has a large experience teaching young learners and private students for nearly 20 years. Teaching online since 2018, she has recently opened her own platform - Luciana Matos ELT. Let’s give it up for Luciana Matos! Welcome!

The interview focused on these FOUR main questions: 

1. This was your first time presenting a paper. What impact has it had on your professional development, in your opinion?
2 What were some of your biggest challenges using these online resources like Zoom, Canva and Moodle to teach online?
3. What alternative resources or tools do you go to when the ones you mentioned in your talk don't work?
4. How do you know students are learning through these resources?
