Very interesting activity today! I’ve listened to an audio and had to answer questions about it afterwards! On top of that we also practiced pronunciation, conversation, functional language and phrasal verbs! Thank you!

I believe that Professor Shellwyn possesses her own unique teaching philosophy when it comes to English language instruction. Her resourcefulness, patience, and focus on developing students' communicative competence are particularly noteworthy. While I made many mistakes during her classes, she always assisted me in correcting them and provided guidance on various communicative contexts. Moreover, she is self-aware and understands the importance of not dominating the learning process but rather, affording me the opportunity and time to think and speak by myself.
