The world of English language teaching is diverse. This month we have a conversation with Magdalena Brzezinska. Magdalena has been an EFL teacher for over 20 years in her native Poland, and a teacher trainer for 10 years. She has taught practical English and sociolinguistics to English Philology students at the University of Warmia and Masuria, Poland and presently, she is teaching junior high school students. She talks to us about working with teens, project based learning, and who inspired her to become an English language teacher in the first place.
