Hey there, EFOPLI community!

Last month, our team had the pleasure of participating in the II ENALET (Encontro Nacional de Alfabetização, Análise Linguística e Letramentos), which occurred from July 29th to the 31st.

The themes for our presentations were "Uma Jornada pela Educação Linguística: da formação docente às redes sociais" and "A extensão universitária como espaço de (de) formação docente: uma análise de relatos reflexivos dos extensionistas do EFOPLI".

We were thrilled to share a little bit of our work with researchers from other Brazilian universities!

🌐 I Luso-Brazilian Symposium on AI and English Language Education: From AI Literacy to Teacher Agency

How is Artificial Intelligence reshaping the way we teach and learn English? And how can teachers move from simply using AI tools to making informed, critical, and pedagogically grounded decisions about them?

This online symposium brings together researchers, teachers, and teacher educators from Brazil 🇧🇷 and Portugal 🇵🇹 to explore the theoretical, ethical, and pedagogical implications of AI for English-language education.

Moving beyond AI literacy as a purely technical competence, the event places teacher agency at the centre of the conversation, empowering educators to reflect critically on the role of AI in their professional practice.

📅 September 09 (Wednesday)
🕘 10:00 - 13:00 (Brazil, BRT) | 14:00 - 17:00 (Portugal, WET)
💻 Online and free

✍️ Register here (also available in bio): https://forms.gle/UJso4wXFcum4JzVUA

Organised with the support of CETAPS, NOVA FCSH, FLUP (U.Porto), Universidade Federal da Paraíba, EFOPLI, and APPI.

On July 1st, EFOPLI promoted the workshop "Fixing the System, Not the Student: Shifting the Burden in the (Real) Inclusive Classroom".

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Professor Matheus Almeida (UFCG) for leading such a thoughtful and inspiring discussion on inclusive education. Through meaningful reflections and practical insights, he encouraged us to rethink our educational practices and the shared responsibility of building truly inclusive classrooms.

A valuable opportunity for learning, dialogue, and professional growth. We are grateful to everyone who joined us!

Hello, teachers!!

Join us for a thought-provoking workshop led by Dr. Matheus Lucas de Almeida, English Professor at UFCG and researcher in critical language education, bilingualism, additional language acquisition, and education for social justice.

In this session, participants will critically examine how disability is often understood in educational settings and explore how a social model of disability can help create more inclusive learning environments. Together, we will reflect on the removal of barriers, the value of learner diversity, and ways to promote participation, belonging, and social justice in education.

An opportunity for students, teachers, and researchers interested in inclusion, language education, and practices that promote social justice.
