Lecturer in Foreign Languages and Culture, Estonian Military Academy
Anna Hainoja holds a PhD in Cultural Research and teaches Russian language and Russian society at the Estonian Military Academy.

She has extensive experience teaching Russian both in classroom and digital formats, with a focus on language for specific purposes (LSP) and adult learners. Her current research explores the integration of soft skills - such as communication, teamwork, self-confidence, and self-management - into foreign language instruction, particularly within leadership training curricula.
Anna’s work reflects a broader interest in learner-centered pedagogy, interdisciplinary approaches, and the role of language education in fostering personal and professional growth.
