Valentin Tassev is the holder of two MA degrees: one in International Relations and another one in Political Science. He is in the final stage of completing his third MA degree majoring in Applied Lingustics (ELT) at King Mongkut’s University of Technology (KMUTT), Thailand. He has taught English in Thailand for the past five years, including teaching at all age levels. He left his country of origin in 2000 and since then he has embarked on a life-time journey of exploring new countries and cultures as well as meeting new people; the future yet seems quite promising. He is highly interested in the inter-relationship between language and culture and, in particular, how English as an international language fosters deeper integration and inter-cultural communication on a global scale nowadays.
