Short narrative bio:

As a PhD in Philology, my research interests are focusing on the language systems of English as a foreign language and Macedonian, use of Contrastive Analysis and translation, as well as acquisition of reading skills.  Upon completion of the training on English Language Teaching to Adults (in Great Britain, London), I obtained the  Cambridge CELTA certificate. The interest in topics related to language acquisition, including specific language related difficulties was further enhanced by the cooperation with the Institute of experimental phonetics and speech pathology in Belgrade and training on topics including Bilingualism, Early recognition and prevention of language difficulties with emphasis on reading skills and dyslexia. Regarding contrastive analysis including  English and Macedonian,  I was involved in the cooperation with the Research Center for Areal Linguistics at the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Additionally, through translation related projects (in Krakow and Warsaw Poland, Tallinn Estonia and Stockholm Sweden), I had an opportunity to enrich my insight into contrasting the two language systems. In the domain of foreign language acquisition, I was  a member of the FON University research team in a project ,,Effects of early exposure to foreign languages” supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of RM. My research papers in the above areas of linguistics were presented at national and international conferences.
