Abstract

This journal is devoted to spreading the expertise, best practices, and enthusiasm for teaching English in many of its approaches. For that reason we occasionally have interviews with outstanding colleagues who have already created a huge legacy of supreme expertise, very special projects, have truly educated students to boldly and safely start their professional paths.

Now I wish to present Dr. Elena Bazanova. Through a series of questions on basic principles, beliefs of her work, she demonstrates rare insight, originality, humanism and scholarship. It is my firm belief this interview will be a pleasant and encouraging peace to read and reflect on one’s own practice.
