Paul Chownyk, Workshop Facilitator
"Ya Polyglot", A Language School
With a diverse career in ELT spanning almost 13 years, Paul Chownyk, a native of Canada, has had the pleasure of educating hundreds of Samara's students, young and old, in private and public schools, as well as a brief gig at Samara State University. He is currently in charge of the International Exam project for the private language school, Ya Polyglot. Currently, he is examining new and forgotten modalities in language teaching methodology, towards an hypothesis of analyzing common factors and discovering a way to integrate them. His eagerness to continually improve and educate himself is one aspect he strives to pass on to his learners - one should never think you've already learned all you need to know.
