“Often during a course, I come up with an idea that I immediately put into practice. I work on exercises from the textbook in the form of games, or the learners apply the learned structures in a game setting. What I have noticed is that, in the context of the game, when learners are engaged, their perception of the language changes, their attitude towards the proposed problems changes, the rigid structures of consciousness relax, and learners are much more willing to be actively involved in producing the language, more easily taking the risk of making language mistakes.”

“A linguistic evaluator is not just someone who assesses a person’s linguistic skills and abilities, but also someone who, for a period of time, becomes a confessor, an advisor, a friend, a good listener, and sometimes even a healer! Because for a few moments or minutes, the dialogue partner trusts you and shares their knowledge, thoughts, beliefs, worries, expectations, and dreams with you. A linguistic evaluator is not just someone who writes a report at the end of a conversation. It’s much more than that! It is a person who listens to you both rationally and emotionally.”
