Towards educating ‘Good work’ – communicators at a ‘Turning point’

This paper briefs on an applied research carried out on a group of junior philology graduates. The research is based on two interrelated focal points: on the one hand, the concept of ‘good work’ belonging to Howard Gardner, William Damon and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is a concept the importance of which should be quintessential for every nowadays graduate; on the other hand is focuses on the idea of ‘communication’, as we bear in mind the fact that the research subjects are philology graduates whose domains inherently relate to and require this competence. By formal education, philologists are supposed to be communicators.
