• Senior Lecturer at the Wroclaw University of Technology,
Foreign Languages Department and Department of Polish for Foreigners, since 1976 to 2014
Education –
• The University of Wroclaw Poland, Philology, Linguistics Jul 1974
M.A. thesis Efficiency of Polish Phonological Systems, the work was written under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Hab. Jerzy Woronczak.
The effectiveness of Polish phonological and phonemic structure: Assessment Excellent.
In 1979, I started Ph.D. thesis on; Theoretical ground rules of the stages of effective communication. I had not finished my assignment.
• July 1994 - Exam Proficiency British Consul;
• June 1995 - Diploma of the Polish-American Postgraduate Study of Communication, organized by Wroclaw Polytechnics, the University of Wroclaw and the Central Connecticut State University.
• WizIQ Premium English Online Teacher from 2010 to 2016.
I am a teacher from Poland. I teach Polish as a second language and English.
I also conduct lectures in English on Polish History and Culture for students from all over the world. I have been interested in Cultural Diversity for a long time.
I have been fascinated by online education since I found the WizIQ Platform in 2010.
In my view, Virtual Classes are tremendously exciting and challenging; they make attendees feel like having real meetings and discussion. Visual quality and non-verbal communication tools, which can be shared with participants are particularly significant.
Moreover, an opportunity to communicate online with people from around the world is an overwhelming experience - as well as –an opportunity to socialize for teaching and learning. Possibility to meet people from the entire Globe is one of the reasons I appreciate online communication, very much.
In my view, sharing is carrying.
Let us connect and exchange our ideas and thoughts.
Looking forward to talking to you,
Regards,
Halina

Nowadays, being an NNEST or NNEST should not count but rather teachers' professional capabilities.
The presentation provides a forum for reflection and discussion about NNESTs.
We should value professional and personal qualities over ‘nativeness.’
The skills and qualities that make an effective language teacher are the most significant.
Both ‘NESTs’ and ‘NNESTs’ are expected to be competent teachers, each with excellent professional skills.
What can non-native English-speaking teachers (NNESTs) perform better?
What can native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) manage better?
My motivation, to search for the updated coaching methods, was an eagerness to get my classes more challenging and more exciting.
Determining how to teach with technology has assisted me to make progress as an instructor and a scholar. Educational activity with technology can deepen student learning by supporting instructional objectives. Nevertheless, it can be challenging to choose the “best” tech tools while not losing sight of your destinations for student scholarship.
In the classroom, technology can encompass all sorts of tools from low-tech pencil, newspaper publisher, and chalkboard, to the utilization of presentation software, or high-tech tablets, online collaboration, and conferencing tools, and more. The new technologies allow us to try things in physical and virtual classrooms that were not possible before. What you use depends fundamentally on what you are attempting to reach.
Learning is happening every day whether you want it or not. Successful mentors don’t treat learning as an event to be scheduled but rather an unlimited resource to be enhanced.
A culture of teaching and learning is collaboratively created by students and teachers who demonstrate their expectations of what must be learned and who should know it.

My hope is that teachers will make learning personalized rather than standardized for everyone.
My hope allows to improve students’ creativity and teachers increase that natural curiosity with learners. Curiosity is the basis of innovation. Curiosity will power our world to progress.
My hope is that you charge the power of technology in thoughtful and incredible ways. Applied science can connect everyone, everywhere, at whatever time. We should use it to our advantage.
I hope for everyone to be able to discover the things you are passionate about.
I also hope that you have remarkable, encouraging educators and mentors who try groundbreaking and wild teaching techniques to help you grow as a learner.
My hope is you are ready for the challenges as well as the failure.
Making mistakes is a way to learn. It’s not about the disaster; it’s how you respond to the failure.
And finally my hope is that your school is different from most of the current transactional learning models, where the students are consumers of education.
Lastly, I hope for people to be just educational learners fitted in transformational learning approach with opportunity for active, creative and profound personal development. Education can take place anywhere and at anytime. It is not only about reading, writing, and learning mathematical practices.

What are authentic objectives of education?
What is LEARNING?
What is KNOWLEDGE?
What is EDUCATION?
What is THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION?
How do people learn anything?
What do you remember about reading without using technology?
What and how do you learn?
What is your definition of text?
Is education a MUST or a privilege?
Online or not online?
From my view, connecting with the use of the Internet seems to be creating new questions about the way people communicate.
I am working to present a theoretical backdrop to the principles of the process of communication, as well as communications skills models.
My approach is based on the well-known model of the functions of language introduced by Roman Jakobson. Although it is recognizable that Jakobson’s theory can be challenged on numerous grounds from a theoretical perspective, I have always been linked with his theoretical explanation of the purposes of linguistic communication.
“Jakobson and Halle’s initial statement of the principles of linguistic organization should be made available to all future generations of linguists. It builds a solid foundation for Saussurean thinking about linguisic oppositions and establishes distinctive feature theory as the basis of their formal treatment.”
Prof. Dr. William Labov, University of Pennsylvania, Department of Linguistics
Along with Roman Jakobson’s functions of the language model, we can formulate some basic queries.
• What is Communication?
• The Categories of Communication.
• The Communication Process.
• Communication Channels.
• Principles of Communication.
• Interpersonal Communication Skills.
• What is an online communication?
• The Benefits of Blogging.
Your preferred styles guide the way you learn.
They also change the way you internally represent experiences, the way you recall information, and even the words you choose.
Research shows us that each learning style uses different parts of the brain.
By involving more of the brain during learning, we remember more of what we learn.
Researchers using brain-imaging technologies have been able to find out the key areas of the brain responsible for each learning style.

I am very much against the support in the native language.
2. Learners spend more time dynamically speaking English when we convert them, for influencing pupils.
I also create an environment for gaining all language skills – reading, listening, speaking, writing, and pronunciation at the same time. Learners experience everyday situations again entirely in English.
• What is Online Learning?
• Advantages of Learning Online
• Advantages of Teaching Online
• Challenges of Teaching Online
• Common Questions
Why is my objective to prepare learners for communication in the real world?
Why do I focus on speaking skills?
Why is it essential that I concentrate on students’ goals?
Why do I aim to maximize student talking time?
