Things Students Say About the ESL program at Goodwin College …

This course changed my life. I am more comfortable with English grammar, writing, reading … I’m thankful for you changed my life.  -Yohanes (Eritrea)

I have been attending Goodwin College for five months. I’m taking English classes. The course includes grammar and reading and also you begin to talk more fluently. I’m making excellent progress.

This is a good experience in my life. Now I can understand clearly and organize my ideas in English. Besides I have many friends from different places. Definitely English as a Second Language program is an excellent program to begin learning English. -Loreta (Dominican Republic)

Something Wonderful
a poem by Thelma (Puerto Rico) 

I enjoyed meeting people from different countries and learning about their cultures so I not only improve my English, but also experience new cultures and new ways of thinking.-Gulay (Turkey)
 

I am happy because I feel my English is better than before. I am a lucky student because all of the teachers that I have are excellent. I have made good friends from different countries. I’ll recommend Goodwin College to different people who need to learn English. -Norma (Peru)

As an ESL student, I am sharing experiences with the students, the teachers and the college. In my class, there are many students who come from different countries of the world, and they are tolerant, friendly and funny. Also the college offers a good advantage with its fulltime ESL programs. -Valery (Haiti)

Here we can speak to other international students, so we study how to speak correctly. Also we write and read a lot, and our nice teachers always tell us what is the best word to use and what is the best way to make a sentence. We are going to be better every day. We have a great program here, and we can study a lot of new words every day.

Unfortunately, I will graduate from this college in three weeks, but I want to study here more because I like this college, I like my teachers and my new friends, and I never want to leave this college. -Svitlana (Ukraine)

English is my second language. These days, English is the main language that people use to be in contact with each other. Therefore, I need to learn English especially since I am living in the United States, and I am an American citizen now. -Chung (Vietnam)

I believe my English is better now than it was six months ago when I started class at Goodwin College. However, a foreigner who wants to learn a second language needs to know that six months is not enough time to develop a high level of any language. -Rodrigo (Brazil)

I came here (USA) on July 15, 2005. I came here (USA) to learn English and find a better job. I found Goodwin College in the newspaper. I like Goodwin College because the course is long and complete. The teachers are excellent; they help me when I need it. I know learning English is a challenge, but I can do it. I hope this course continues for a long time. -Milagros (Puerto Rico)

I have to confess. I could never ever do everything that I do if I hadn’t come to school. It’s the best choice that I made – to learn English and to learn it the correct way in school. -Sara (Brazil)

I enjoyed studying at Goodwin College, especially the teachers. They are wonderful, good, friendly, nice, understandable and easy to talk to. Because of that, it makes me more comfortable around them.
I also learned to relax, not to worry so much about making a mistake. I learned a lot more things I didn’t even know, and am comfortable speaking English now more than ever. My classmates and I get along very well; we understand each other.
Even though we are from different countries, we seem to find something to do together. I learned a lot about their cultures, and it makes me understand people.
Goodwin is a good place to study. I want to tell people about it, and the great teachers. They are always prepared. -Priscilla (Ghana)
