Dr. Katarzyna Wądołowska-Lesner serves as Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Russian and Eastern Studies within the Faculty of Languages at the University of Gdańsk, concurrently holding the position of Deputy Director for Education at the Institute. Her academic career centers on advancing Russian language pedagogy through empirical research on textual comprehension and didactic methodologies. Her educational foundation includes a Master's degree in Russian Philology (2004) and a PhD in Humanities specializing in Linguistics (2013), both earned at the University of Gdańsk. These qualifications underpin her expertise in Slavic linguistics and language education. Wądołowska-Lesner's research focuses on quantifiable aspects of text readability, particularly examining compositional-graphic elements, paragraph structure, and linguistic difficulty metrics in Russian didactic materials. Her work investigates multimedia applications in vocabulary acquisition, silent versus aloud reading comprehension, and cross-linguistic challenges for Polish learners of Russian. This research bridges theoretical linguistics with practical classroom applications, emphasizing empirical validation of teaching strategies. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory in text readability research, evolving from foundational studies on paragraph usage (2012) and multimedia tools (2011) toward sophisticated difficulty measurement formulas (2010) and business Russian applications (2008). Her scholarship demonstrates methodological rigor through student-based empirical studies while maintaining strong relevance to Slavic language education curricula. As an active member of the Polish Neophilological Society and the Polish Association of Teachers and Lecturers of the Russian Language, she contributes to national academic discourse. Her service as Deputy Director for Education at the Institute of Russian and Eastern Studies reflects institutional recognition of her administrative capabilities alongside scholarly contributions. While specific grant details are unreported, her sustained publication record indicates consistent research activity within the University of Gdańsk's academic framework.
