Mihály Köntös

Mihály Köntös lives in Krakow, but he grew up and pursued his high school and university studies in Hungary. He has an MA in English and Hungarian language teaching. In the BA training, he majored in English and American Studies with translation specialization. Over the years he has gained experience in language teaching, translation, and culture management.

His scientific interests include translatoriality, paraprofessional translation, ad hoc translation, machine translation, pedagogical translation, and teaching Hungarian as a foreign language. In his project, he endeavors to examine mediation strategies among the Hungarian community in Poland with special emphasis on translational activities.

As he strongly believes in interdisciplinary approaches, he is looking forward to working with researchers from various fields, such as sociolinguistics. He is also hoping to extend his research to different settings.
