Magdalena Madany-Saá holds a BA degree in Spanish Philology from Warsaw University, Poland; MA degree in Latin American Studies from Universidad Andina Simon Bolivar, Ecuador; and currently is a PhD candidate in the College of Education at the Pennsylvania State University, US.

She worked in Ecuador between 2004 and 2016 developing professional development trainings for in-service English teachers and providing educational services to the Ministry of Education and the Secretariat of Higher Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation (SENESCYT).

Magdalena’s PhD research intersects teacher education, language policy, and decoloniality in Latin America.  She is a co-organizer and a co-editor of the series of decolonial conversations at the Global Virtual Forum (https://gvf.la.psu.edu). Additionally, Magdalena works as a TESL instructor in immersion study abroad programs in Ecuador (https://ed.psu.edu/tesl-ecuador) where she engages with her undergraduate students from the Pennsylvania State University in decolonizing English language teaching in postcolonial contexts.

Magdalena is a Polish citizen, and a resident in both Ecuador and the US. She translates between Polish, Spanish, Kichwa, and English.

Testimonials

donors_treffle_mercierI don't hesitate to support ESF, because for me, this foundation is the most important and effective for spreading Esperanto and getting people to accept it. You only need to take a look at the various activities that ESF supports, to understand that the money donated to this foundation is well used and bears concrete and useful fruits.

(Trefflé Mercier, Canada)

 

donors_fernando_maia_jrI donate to ESF because I agree with and trust the work that they fund. ESF runs and supports some of the most important spaces for Esperanto on the internet, always with a modern eye and inspiring results
