Summary
I am an academic teacher with more than 15 years of experience in education & research.
A number of my articles has been published after attending numerous domestic and international
conferences. I organised conference panels, study visits, and various academic and non-academic
events. My education interests range from designing and running courses in academic writing,
communication and presentations, linguistics, descriptive grammar, phonetics, game design, and
gamification. As tutoring becomes a more effective teaching method than lecturing, I also belong to
a group introducing new technologies and gamification in Polish higher education and as an
international consultant. My research interests concentrate around semiotics and pragmatics as
I study the influence between space, proxemics, and interactions. In recent years I have held a few
administrative positions organising conferences, study visits, workshops, coordinating projects,
editing and proofreading academic publications, preparing international agreements between
universities, and consulting as Erasmus coordinator. Currently I reside in the Middle East where
I develop my teaching and organisation skills.
