Margarita Andonova

Margarita uses teaching aids to assist in learning

My name is Margarita Andonova. I graduated two philology degrees in Bulgarian and Spanish. I also use English as a contact language in my work. I have worked for thirty-five years as a teacher of Bulgarian language and culture to foreigners from around the world.  I have thought at many institutions in the country including.

  • ‪The Institute for foreign students
  • ‪The Red Cross and in the High Commissioner for Refugees
  • ‪In the American governmental organization Peace Corps
  • ‪Corporate, group and individual training of foreigners with different social and professional status

During my time working with the American Peace Corps I co-authored their Bulgarian language textbook for the volunteers working in Bulgaria.

In my teaching I primarily utilize a communicative teaching method as the most suitable way to learn how to speak the language. In addition, I immerse my students further into Bulgarian life by teaching them about Bulgarian culture and diversity with a focus on the differences in cultural norms in relation to my student’s homeland.

Furthermore, I have taught Spanish at both University and High School levels. In addition to large classroom settings, I have ample experience in individual and group lessons at various Spanish language centers. I was trained in teaching Spanish as a second language in Spain where I gained key skills to enhance my methodologies.

As my contact languages I utilize English and Spanish to enable students to have a base to work from.
