twenty years or so, he has been active in professional areas directly and
indirectly related to the English language and culture. As a journalist,
translator, and the author of numerous English coursebooks and methodological
publications, he has been involved in promoting the knowledge of English in an
innovative way, vigorously displaying his own passion for the language and its
culture as well as igniting genuine emotions and stimulating the craving for
cultural discovery in the recepients of his output, whether written or spoken.
A master of spoken narration, Marek shows his interest in and commitment to
exploring those cultural areas that are believed to enjoy the alleged
exhaustion of potential for new discovery, thus exceeding the bounds of regular
research.

runs courses in English as a foreign language, and British and American Studies
as well as British and American History at the Institute of English Studies of
the Jagiellonian University. His research and the subject of his PhD
dissertation focus on the intermedial and intertextual relationships between
modernist and postmodernist English literature and visual arts.
He is an author of over twenty scientific and methodological publications as well as four English as a Foreign Language coursbooks.
