"Os eventos da Cambridge me permitem não somente uma qualificação como profissional, como também me fazem entender a importância daquilo que faço, dedicar o meu empenho na construção de melhores pessoas que além de estarem aptas a se expressar em um outro idioma, conseguem ver a vida por um novo prisma."

"O Cambridge Day 2018 que aconteceu em Salvador foi, sem dúvida, um marco na história acadêmica de todos que dela participaram. As presenças de Michael Tomlinson e Mark Ibbotson, esbanjando simpatia e simplicidade, aumentaram ainda mais a certeza de que estar com a Cambridge é fazer parte de um grande time de competência exemplar."
Hudson Silva
"Para mim foi o melhor. Por razões óbvias: Eu fui sorteado para um intercâmbio em Cambridge. Na verdade estou respondendo daqui neste exato momento! (23:19 da noite). De qualquer forma o evento sempre é muito bom. Os palestrantes excelentes e tudo mais. Espero poder participar neste ano de 2019."
Bruno Ferreira
"Olá, sou Bruno, de Belém/PA e participei ano passado do Cambridge day. Foi uma experiência incrível estar no evento, e foi meu primeiro! Fiquei impressionado com tudo que vi, com a quantidade de pessoas no teatro no evento, e pela simpatia de todos, da organização aos palestrantes. Foi uma grata surpresa ter uma representante do nosso estado como uma das palestrantes e claro, eu e os outros paraenses (que estávamos na primeira fileira do teatro próximo ao palco) tietamos ela no fim do evento. Nossa participação foi tão legal lá que rendeu um Cambridge day aqui em Belém também!"
"Em 2018 participei do Cambridge Day pela primeira vez, em São Paulo. O evento me encantou tanto, que decidi que irei participar de todas as edições... cada palestra me motivou a ser uma professora de inglês melhor. Cada relato apresentado ali me fez refletir no modo como trabalho, no modo como me relaciono como meus alunos. Pude perceber erros que cometo e já comecei a corrigi-los... e fiquei feliz ao ver também os acertos! Saí de lá feliz e motivada por ter encontrado tantos professores excelentes e apaixonados pela profissão, por ter aprendido tantas coisas com os palestrantes e também com os colegas que estavam assistindo. Para mim, o Cambridge Day é um combustível para os professores de inglês! Thank you for this amazing experience, Cambridge! I see you in July 2019!"

"A experiência em poder participar do Cambridge Day por 2 anos consecutivos, 2017 e 2018, na cidade de SP, me proporcionou a estreitar o networking com professores de varias regiões do país. O evento nos possibilita trocar experiências, a inovar as práticas pedagógicas e, o mais importante, a continuar sempre buscar o conhecimento, pois é o único bem que nos acompanha para sempre. O Cambridge Day, motivou-me a viajar literalmente, pois fui do Norte ao Sudeste em busca de um Q+ de inovação, melhoria como professora de Inglês das redes pública e privada do Estado do Pará. Afinal, aprender nunca é demais."

Roberta Turbiani
“Participei do Cambridge Day ano passado, assim como de todos os anteriores. Todos os anos sou arrebatada pelas surpresas especiais e pelos momentos emocionantes. Ano passado não foi diferente: muito aprendizado, palestras interessantes, animadas, momentos de reflexão e diversão. As palestras foram muito produtivas, trazendo temas relacionados Speaking/Lexis/CLIL. Sempre com muitas sugestões para prática em sala de aula. E o show de Warley Santana e os vários personagens que nos fizeram rir e emocionar...demais! Além disso tudo, a gentileza e competência do staff Cambridge, sempre muito atenciosos. Considero o Cambridge Day um presente de valor inestimável e agradeço à Cambridge Brazil por tão preciosos momentos.”

On a mission!
As teachers we know that our students are our greatest classroom resource. This session explores how students can benefit from each other, both inside and outside the classroom. Referring to insights from current research, it will also provide practical examples of how peer learning has been integrated into Evolve, a new American English course for adults.
Peer power: exploring the importance of peers in language learning
Mark Ibbotson
Teachers in Brazil are increasingly expected to develop their students’ life skills or general competences. But achieving this is hindered by lack of knowledge and time. Teachers need to know what exactly these skills mean for their students. They also need a way of integrating the development of those skills into their English language lessons without additional workload. This talk will examine how the new Cambridge Life Competencies Framework can help them with both those issues.
Can a Framework for Life Competencies help English teachers in Brazil?

In an ideal world all learners would take responsibility for their own learning. However, in reality we need to help our teens to become more independent and autonomous both inside and outside the classroom. This talk focuses on the characteristics of autonomous learners and looks at a range of practical ideas for developing autonomous habits in the classroom through collaboration, critical thinking and reflection.

We all know how digital media can engage today’s "Screenagers" but are we making the best of it? How can we really stimulate our learners through their digital devices rather than allowing them to be distracted? This talk outlines the key roles of mobile technology for use both in and, more specifically, out of class and for both language input and output. It also shows how using digital devices can enhance teachers’ work and help you truly connect with your learners. The talk will include practical tips for teachers and students and examples of digital material from Evolve.
They never look up from their phones! Are we really connecting with them?
