  About Halina’s Teaching
  
  I am a passionate teacher. Teaching is my life. For that reason, I am a lifelong learner
  I am for blended learning/ education and flipped classroom.
  The traditional physical classroom settings for my lessons are not effective enough.
  In my view, technology gives us many new possibilities.
  I prefer blended learning, which means, taking advantage of both, traditional f2f techniques and opportunities presented by new technologies.
  Moreover, thinking in a foreign language is precisely what I want my students to achieve. I teach without a bridge language.
  When I teach Polish, my foreigners and I have to speak only Polish, and my English classes are run only in English.
  This means they are required to forget about native language and start speaking as well as thinking in a foreign language.
  My students learn English in different contexts, mostly singing phrases, expressions, collocation, idioms, and phrasal verbs also telling stories. Moreover, I encourage them to talk to everybody, even to themselves in a foreign language. As a result of this, they can establish a set of compelling stories.
  I correct only little mistakes. I do not want them to stop talking. I also encourage my students to listen to songs, watch movies with subtitles in a language they learn, read a lot and so forth.
  Moreover, I often use YouTube videos to improve student’s pronunciation, as well as, movies with English subtitles and of course songs.
  I believe in using music in English teaching. My approach is that we do not speak the language, but we sing it.
  English has a unique melody, rhythm as well as intonation.
  My students enjoy English lessons with me because they are never bored.

  I am applying a blended learning/ training and flipped classroom approaches.
  The traditional physical classroom settings are not efficient enough, for my lessons
  
  In my opinion, technology gives us countless new possibilities.
  As I have already specified, I prefer blended learning, which means, taking advantage of both, traditional f2f techniques and opportunities confronted with new technologies.
  An occasion to meet and connect with people from the entire Globe is one of the reasons I appreciate online communication, very much.
  Thinking in a foreign language is precisely what I want my students to accomplish.
  I teach without a bridge language, or lingua franca also known as a common language, trade language or even vehicular language. Students do not share any language.
  When I teach Polish, my foreigners and I have to speak only Polish, and my English classes are run entirely in English.
  
  

• W jaki sposób zdecydowałeś(aś) się podjąć pracę w swojej profesji?

  I have always been sure about my ideal job. It is teaching languages.
  With English becoming a truly global language, it’s certainly a useful skill to possess in the working world. It’s no wonder that research has shown that about two-thirds of learners in global markets such as Asia, Europe, and South American are learning English to apply for jobs in their native country or to work overseas. But you might be surprised to know that there are other ways English helps your career. Having a good grasp of the language can improve the way you deal with tasks, help you make better decisions and possibly even boost your earning power…
  
  
  According to this Pearson infographic, employees feel that improved English would allow them to earn around US$5,000 more per year. And while that would mean greater expenditure for businesses, for the reasons given above – and more – this could also mean a more efficient, not to mention galvanized, workforce providing more long-term
  financial benefits.
