Mario, who passed away in February 2025, spent his life reshaping how we understand teaching. He believed language learning should be deeply human \u2014 relational, personal, and alive. He challenged rigid coursebook approaches and advocated for creativity, authenticity, and emotional intelligence in the classroom. His work continues to inspire teachers around the globe.<\/p>
