What Other People Are Saying

Testimonials

“Eugenia’s knowledge of cutting edge research on theory and pedagogy sits alongside years of practical application. She is someone of great vision, a valuable resource for others seeking excellence in the field of bilingual education.”

— Professor Viv Edwards, University Of Reading, Author & Researcher

“I met Eugenia in 2000 at a conference when she was the executive director of Play English/Bilingual School of Monza, which she had founded. Her passion for plurilingual and bilingual education was clear even in the environment of a busy conference. As I got to know Eugenia better over the years I have come to see the depth of knowledge and the quest for improvement that forms the foundation of her passion.”

— Dr Else Hamayan, Author & Researcher

“I have had the honour of working with Eugenia at her school in Milan as a workshop team presenter, facilitating the principles of inclusion with her faculty and staff. I have nothing but admiration for Eugenia as she continues her journey of inclusive education through the guardianship and education of how to empower cultural identity of students through the education of teachers and parents, in creating inclusive environments.”

— Veronica Bourke, ES Learning Support Team Leader, The International School Of Brussels

“I will never forget the great academic and human experience we had with you, and how you always were there ready to help us. Matteo, in particularly remembers with love you and the “good old times” as he called those. I really think about you and the school often, and my memories are the best ones… Thank you for setting the foundations for my kids’ school success!”

— Serena Barbieri, Parent, Italy

“My time in Monza stays with me always and the inspiration Eugenia provided for bilingual or even multilingual learning has strengthened my teaching from the very start. I often wonder what the children I taught are doing now. No doubt they will be thriving in Higher education settings around the world, after having gained sound foundations by attending the Bilingual School of Monza.”

— Stephanie Williams, Teacher, Dubai

“Eugenia is a highly knowledgeable expert in bilingualism and second language acquisition. Her unwavering commitment to mother-tongue instruction and multilingualism is an inspiration to all of us in the field. I feel fortunate to have collaborated with her in the past and hope to be able to do so again in the future.”

— Day Jones, Educational Consultant, Italy

“Tu sai già quanto ti siamo grati per gli anni trascorsi nella bellissima realtà del Play English che, almeno per me, non è mail stata solo una scuola ma un vero e proprio approccio all’educazione dei bambini... Play English ha sempre avuto “quel qualcosa in più” che non ho mai più trovato in altre scuole che condividevano le stesse caratteristiche dal punto di vista didattico e sono arrivata alla conclusione che “quel qualcosa in più” eri proprio tu.”

— Ilaria, Parent Of 3 Children-Students Of PE &The Bilingual School Of Monza.

“Ho avuto la fortuna di incontrare Eugenia e di “innamorarmene” dal punto di vista personale e professionale circa 10 anni fa. Ne ho apprezzato la visione moderna dell’insegnamento e apprendimento, così all’avanguardia da non essere compreso ai molti, a volte. Sono rimasta molto colpita dalla mission della scuola Play English da lei fondata, che vedeva le lingue come uno strumento per rompere le barriere e favorire la comunicazione, favorendo la tolleranza e la pace. Questo messaggio mi ha colpito così tanto che ho deciso di far intraprendere alle mie figlie il percorso scolastico nella sua scuola. È stata la scelta migliore della mia vita. Consiglierei a chiunque di parlare con lei almeno una volta e di ascoltare le sue idee e proposte circa l’apprendimento delle lingue e la salvaguardia della lingua madre. Il mondo ne guadagnerebbe e sarebbe più bello!”

Antonella Moioli (parent)
