Algirdas Makarevicius. Community Service: Spreading Knowledge Worldwide
Dissemination of Knowledge in the Fields of Teaching, Learning, and Research
Developing the Culture of Learning
Community service is voluntary work meant to serve people in a particular, demanding area. Apart from teaching, I motivated students to read internet and library materials extensively and develop their culture of reading. I conducted extensive reading sessions in the library, established various English learning clubs, such as Public Speaking Club, helped to edit articles in college English journals and newspapers. The aim was to develop the students' culture of speaking, reading, listening and writing.
Reference Desk for ESL Teachers and TEFL Students
After consulting and helping people in different parts of the world, I wanted to make my knowledge and expertise readily available for all. Therefore, I designed an extensive non-profit website "ESL Teacher Reference Desk." In this website, I provided useful information for ESL teachers, tutors, lecturers, and ESL students so that they could make the best out of their profession: take a look at the reality from diverse perspectives, create their own professional drive and passion with confidence, find reliable, verified solutions and drive quality results in their teaching profession. This website gives a person with ESL qualifications a unique opportunity to succeed, to achieve maximum career results. It also serves as a reference desk for those teachers with ESL qualifications who want to change their profession and to succeed in other businesses, i.e., to shift from ESL teaching to the jobs or businesses that can be successfully performed by persons with ESL qualifications and with teaching experience. ESL teachers usually have training and skills that are in demand in a variety of jobs and industries.
