Everyone has a different way of connecting to Duolingo, and we are here for it.
Most people learn about Duolingo first and the Duolingo English Test later. For me, it was the opposite! When I met Jennifer Dewar and Jeffrey Tousignant at the EducationUSA conference in 2018, I thought, "An English test that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars and doesn't require travel? Is that even possible?" It is, and it's called the Duolingo English Test! Now, in 2024, I am privileged and honored to work alongside Bob Meese, Aparajita Singh Turton, Rogelio Alvarez, and Jennifer Dewar to build the dream team that breaks barriers and makes language testing accessible to everyone. This week, we hosted #DETcon24, where we welcomed international educators from all over the world to our HQ in Pittsburgh, PA, to discuss language testing and how the DET is breaking barriers. We also had the pleasure of being with all the incredible Duos who joined our team within the last year at their first #DETcon24: ⭐ Diana Velásquez - Strategy and Business Operation Lead, Duolingo English Test 🇺🇸 ⭐ Marlene Olsavsky - Managing Director, Canada 🇨🇦 ⭐ Michael Lynas - UK Country Director 🇬🇧 ⭐ Brett Blacker - Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 I look forward to continuing our work together to break barriers for international students.
