How did the ESL cl<strong>as</strong>s improve your<br />

<strong>English</strong> capabilities?<br />

resource?<br />

your ESL teacher?<br />

How do you feel your time in ESL<br />

affected your later success in life?<br />

* In the ESL cl<strong>as</strong>sroom we had to speak only in <strong>English</strong>. Even though all the conversations<br />

weren't perfect <strong>English</strong>, it helped me to get rid of fear I had of speaking in <strong>English</strong>.<br />

Also the teacher gave us team projects. I think this w<strong>as</strong> the greatest help in improving<br />

my <strong>English</strong>.<br />

* Reading helps me to remember more words and writing helps me to put words together to make<br />

sentences. I like read and write.<br />

* They talk with me and encourage me, if needed; they give me a hard push to make a leap in my<br />

<strong>English</strong> study.<br />

* In ESL cl<strong>as</strong>s I read many <strong>English</strong> books or played <strong>English</strong> board games so that I have a lot of<br />

contacts with <strong>English</strong>. As I read and comprehended <strong>English</strong> p<strong>as</strong>sages a lot, my <strong>English</strong> abilities got<br />

improved.<br />

24 * Yes because she h<strong>as</strong> watched many students with similar homework<br />

every year, she gave me suggestions when I couldn't start my<br />

homework. Also when I couldn't understand things related to cultural<br />

differences, she gave me answers.<br />

* My ESL teacher is a resource to me because I learn a lot from her.<br />

* They are always responding my related emails and other demand; especially<br />

they are doing their best to help me integrate into the new environment.<br />

* Because she w<strong>as</strong> always beside me, ready to help me anytime.<br />

* Most of the time I <strong>as</strong>ked her to correct grammar errors in writing. I also <strong>as</strong>ked about<br />

Americans' culture.<br />

* My of my questions are related to my every day learning.<br />

* What does this word mean? How to make others understand me.<br />

* I <strong>as</strong>ked lots of vocabularies or grammar rules so that I don't get lost while reading long <strong>English</strong><br />

sentences.<br />

* I can say that I improved most of my <strong>English</strong> through the ESL program, which will<br />

definitely help me when I have to communicate with foreigners later.<br />

* I had a great time in ESL. I made up my mind that I will keep studying and get my <strong>English</strong> better<br />

and better<br />

* My time in ESL let me touch <strong>English</strong>, feel <strong>English</strong> and think in <strong>English</strong>, after that, I become to love<br />

<strong>English</strong> and try my best to be a good speaker.<br />

* Because of ESL I am now comfortable talking with <strong>English</strong> speaking people. It will make me<br />

communicate and express my thoughts to other people e<strong>as</strong>ily and better in my life.
