Algirdas Makarevicius. Community Service: Promoting English Teaching and Learning

English Language and Communication in the Workplace

Promoting students’ interest in learning English through extra-curricular activities such as reading and speaking clubs, weekly lectures on various topics,  poster presentations, discussion groups, students’ conferences, and symposiums can increase job opportunities and create a progressive English learning environment.

I promoted English courses and language teaching in Papua New Guinea, China, and other countries:
  • ESL learning materials and English language teaching at Pattison English International College in Guangzhou, China 2004.
  • English language learning and teaching in Huai Hua, Hunan Province, China, 2003.
  • Business English learning and teaching at Guangdong Best Training Centre. Guangzhou, China, 2002-05
  • Short courses about communication in the workplace for Papua New Guinea government officers, educators, and business people. 
  • Wrote and edited promotional short course handbooks and brochures and prepared teaching materials in Cyprus, Papua New Guinea, and China.
The importance of English language and communication skills is accepted worldwide in education and other fields of human life. The English language is rapidly spreading around the world.
