Krzysztof KotułaI have been a French as a Foreign Language teacher for almost twenty years. I taught in many institutions, such as the Polish-French Friendship Association or the August Witkowski 5th High School in Krakow. At the same time, I have been developing my career as a researcher: first I completed postgraduate studies at the University Aix-Marseille I, then I completed a PhD in French medieval literature at the Jagiellonian University. I was also employed as an archivist at the Institut de recherche at d’histoire des textes in Orléans, which is part of the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research), where I worked on medieval manuscripts. Since 2011 I have been employed as Assistant Professor in Applied Linguistics at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. I teach a range of French language subjects, as well as an undergraduate course on technology in second language teaching. My research interests are in ICT in education and computer-assisted language learning. I am particularly interested in the impact of new technologies on developing various language skills, especially speaking. My publications focus on the computer-enhanced ludic techniques, as well as on teacher competences assuring their efficient implementation in the didactic process (). I recently published a book on playing video games in the language classroom.
