Aleksandra PopovskiNILE Consultant Trainer

Aleksandra is a teacher, teacher trainer, and consultant with a strong passion for language education. She holds an MA in Professional Development for Language Education from NILE validated by the University of Chichester, where she deepened her knowledge and skills in the field. Her interests include multimodality, incorporating visual arts into language teaching, and exploring effective reading comprehension strategies. She is particularly interested in reading as a tool for exploring and discussing issues such as social (in)justice, diversity and inclusion with learners of English. Aleksandra is also passionate about 'no single stories', i.e. writing and exploiting stories about countries, cultures, and communities that are usually excluded from published ELT materials. She also edits and write materials for ELT publishers.

Aleksandra has worked on several teacher training projects with NILE, including STELIR Rwanda and Teaching for Success Tunisia.

She is in the early stages of her PhD journey focusing on the relationship between multimodality, visual metaphors, graphic novels and learning English.

Aleksandra is currently co-editing two books, one focusing on sustainability in ELT and the other on the work of English language teaching associations. She also co-wrote a chapter for The Routledge Handbook of Teaching English as an International Language.
