The ESL program at Gonzaga is very different from other ESL institutions due to various teaching methods in order to help students improve their weakness. For me, I have improved on speaking and listening skill. For my classmates, they learnt more about writing and reading skill. The professors are very dedicated and give attention to every individual in class, hoping each of us succeed in learning English.
All the teachers here in ESL, they’re not just doing a job, they’re really trying to help. They ask me about how all my classes are going, not only about English. They ask about other things in my life. Sometimes, I was stressed about something, and they asked me if I was okay and things like that. It helped me a lot. I found that helpful in my experience in school.
After completing the ELC program at Gonzaga, I have improved a lot in my speaking skills. At the beginning, I was shy. Now, I am more open about speaking. I did not used to do anything on my own, but now I am independent. I have also improved in my writing and communication with other people.
