Welcome, dear visitor, to my website!

Before discussing the content of this website, let me first briefly introduce myself: my name is Lygia Beatriz Tangerino Junqueira and I am a professional English and Portuguese teacher. I remember I could speak English fluently when I was 12, as my father gave me the great opportunity to start learning a second language when I was 5. In addition to studying English, I’ve studied German, Russian, French and Spanish, but this was later, after high school, and not for as long as I have studied English.

I graduated in Portuguese and English Teaching. My specialization is in the phonetical or morphological environment of these two languages. I’ve started work on my Master’s Degree and have attended many extra courses, workshops, which I’ll mention next time I update my website. Apart from teaching, which is my profession, I have varied interests in other topics, most notably in Technical Terms, Andragogy (“Teaching Adults”) and Technogogy (“the power and function of multimedia computing (technology) and its use in the teaching and learning”) . Several of these interests are highlighted on this website.

Amongst others, I am an avid nature observer. I have made several observational trips to various places in Brazil, the US, the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Venezuela, and some of the Caribbean Islands.

In the field of Teaching, I am the founder and co-founder of three English Schools, and have been a co-worker for a number of serious scientific publications, website English versions, e-booklets in Spanish, with or without having my name mentioned, and, of course, pretty much enjoy  classroom activities as well.

I also do many things with my camera. I collect pictures and works from my students, and regularly check updates and find reports about the most relevant methodologies. Moreover, using my voice recorder is another useful tool I use to motivate my students. I have also made a number of discoveries in my classes in my Portuguese-For-Non-Native-Speakers Programs.

Since 1984, I’ve been dedicating my career to those who really love learning.

Differently from being a teacher, there are other things I do and enjoy very much, such as, are drawing, painting, and computer imaging. I worked for a bank for four years, and, after studying a bit about the Makeup Art, I did cat walking makeup work. I love crafting.
