I think that CESL was very useful to improve my English. Now I can speak, write and listen more than when I arrived in the USA. In fact, after taking the first class in CESL I started to read books in English, Now I cannot stop reading English. I've enjoyed my class in CESL a lot. The teachers are very respectful and they always listen to your ideas with an open mind. In addition, CESL has allowed me to meet a lot of people from Turkey, Spain, Italy, South Korea, Taiwan, Mexico, Argentina, Japan, Hungary, and Peru. Now I have many friends from different parts of the workd. Therefore, I would like to continue taking more English classes in CESL. In summary, CESL is a place where you can learn English and share with other people.

I'm very happy becasue I think that this is my frist step to the future and it is a good one. The teachers and students are very nice. You can study and know different cultures. The English program helps me in my work because I can understand more. The class is accessible becasue I have time for my work and my family. The book is very helpful; I can practice in my home on the DVD. It is good to live in a country where the langague is English. You can procatice by watching TV.

I like this class because it helped me to improve my English and to resolve some of my dobuts about English grammar. I think this is a great opportunity for people like me to come to CESL and take classes. I hope to take more grammar classes and others like conversation and TOEFL. CESL was a very important step in my English education which I will always remember. The teacher was very clear in her explanations and the students were very helpful too. We played games together and did exercises too. I think that it was a very nice experence for all the classmates and everybody is going to keep a good memory.

I am working weekdays and have to improve my English also. I decided to take some classes because of these two reasons. However, I found only General English class in the evening. I wish I could take more classes like Writing or Pronunciatoion. More CESL classes can enhance my work life and future career options. Now, I feel more confident and I plan to take a class next semester. After that I will attend a certification program at the UA.
