Dear Virginia,

My name is Loiana Pavlichenko and I am responsible for Level B curriculum

development, assessment and Portuguese Language classes delivery at School of
Modern Languages, Newcastle University. Our Level B corresponds to a B2
according to the European Framework for Languages, which means that successful
students at this level are able to interact in a great variety of social-communicative
contexts. They can speak, read and write in Portuguese at an upper-intermediate
level.

Ms. Louise Maxwell is currently my student and finished Level B in June 2014
achieving a 1
st
(first), this corresponds to a 95/100 in Brazil. Our students must
spend the next academic year abroad either in a Portuguese or Spanish speaking
country, as their degree is in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies. Our
students are encouraged to experience both, if possible, as being immersed in the
culture and language broadens their horizons and sharpens their language skills. Ms.
Maxwell is very much looking forward to gaining cultural and professional
experience whilst working in Brazil.

I highly recommend Ms. Maxwell as a candidate for Global Translations.Brs
International Internship and I truly think she has the best profile for the job. I have
been following Ms. Maxwell academic development since her first year at the
university and during these last two years not only has she demonstrated great
interest in learning and improving her language skills, but also her performance and
confidence were always outstanding.

Ms. Maxwell is extremely responsible and dedicated. Her time management is
impeccable and she has exceeded the expectations achieving a First and volunteering
for VAMOS! Festival, a cultural South American celebration held in Newcastle,
having, among others, Newcastle University as sponsor. It has demanded extra
curricular work, which Ms. Maxwell has performed outstandingly. She has greatly
improved her language skills across the spectrum of the five necessary skills for
successful communication. In addition, she is extremely organized, reliable and
computer literate. She can work effectively either independently or in a group. She
is flexible, willing to learn and highly motivated.

I truly believe Ms. Maxwell would be an outstanding intern and she has my highest
recommendation.

If you need any further information with regard to her academic background, please
do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Loiana Leal Pavlichenko
