I really enjoyed the small class sizes, the interaction with teachers and other students, and the discussion of real world
application."

The instructor used many motivating activities that we can also use as teachers in the future. She used the activities just like we would use them in our
classroom, which was a good modeling strategy.

As a native speaker, it provided an excellent review of grammar; I learned some new things about the language! One of my friends is taking this
class this month based on my recommendation. I feel that being certified in ESL will be very helpful in finding work.
- J.C., Nashua, NH
Our Instructor was amazing. A course like this with so many unknowns can be terrible or strikingly effective - and the Instructor is the key to this. She
modelled flawless teaching technique for us to emulate. I learned more from watching her than from anything else in the course. She used the materials fully, and put her 'preaching' into a very engaging and thorough informative
'practice'. High marks!!"
- M. J., Belmont, MA
I thought the Oxford manual was excellent, both practical and useful. The Instructor was very knowledgeable and entertaining, which was not only
good role modelling but also helped to maintain class focus."

Supremely capable, reasonable, clear, and motivating!"

The instructor continually stopped to invite any questions we had. He emphasized that no one should leave the course unsatisfied. I was very
impressed."
- B.S., Boston, MA
The instructor was highly experienced, approachable, very helpful and top notch."

course."

The instructor was always kind and shared her own experiences. I appreciated that part very much, and I've learned so many things from my
classmates, too!

Our instructor was excellent. Friendly but focused, detailed but not boring, and really just a fabulous model of what an ESL teacher should be.
I can only hope I can teach half as well as she did.
