I have always been very fond of the English language and literature. Working as a teacher of English allows me to share my passion with my students and help them to develop their own, unique ways to learn English. I find language learning a fascinating process, which enables learners to discover different cultures and, thus, looks at the world from a different perspective. Learning a different language makes us more tolerant and open to the world. I am aware of a great responsibility for my students’ meaningful and enjoyable learning’ experience I bear as a teacher. Consequently, I am continuously improving my teaching skills to be able to provide my students with the best teaching methods and practices, appropriate to their expectations and needs.

Participation in the program would allow me to share my ideas, knowledge, and skills from other teachers and, in the same way, learn from their teaching experience in a stimulating, multicultural environment. I would be very glad to improve my expertise in such areas as ESL instruction, development of materials and curriculum, supervision, test design, assessment, evaluation, and research.

Participation in the EL Fellow Program would enable me to improve my teaching skills and, thus, to provide my students with a more rewarding and enjoyable learning experience. As I work with adult learners from all over the world, I deal with a wide variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, motivations, and needs.

I am a hard-working, motivated person, willing to teach and learn at the same time. I am convinced that I can both contribute to and benefit significantly from participation in the EL Fellow Program.
