Testimonials from Recently Graduated TESOL Students
TESOL Student Testimonial
"The professors have been most helpful and are always willing to give additional support.”
"I think this program offered me a number of relevant theories in TESOL field and their implications in my teaching.”
"I think the program harmonizes practical lessons and theoretical lessons.”
"I am very satisfied with the education I have received through Temple's TESOL program mainly because of the quality of instruction that each of the faculty members have given to me.”
"I am sure that each of the faculty members in the TESOL program has the students' interest foremost in their minds."
"The way (the) TESOL program has had teachers and teacher candidates from all walks of life both domestically and internationally in the same classroom was helpful in many ways.”
"The strength of the program is the practicality. Each student getting a learner is a great way for new teachers to get hands on experience."
"Comprehensive exam is also a strength of the program since it forces the student to re-learn/review the ideas previously learned. Although the process was difficult, I believe it to be a worthwhile process for all students."
"I think the program encourages students to think about practical application of learning not just about understanding of course materials by doing case studies or analysis on target subjects. Throughout the program the assignments involve both individual and group study so that it prepares the students not only work alone but also work together. I also appreciate the fact that the program teaches technical aspects of teaching English as a second language but also ethical aspects which cannot be ignored."
"The program is well organized with all requirements made clear from the start and it is evident that a great deal of thought and energy are put into the instruction of each course."
"The professors within the TESOL program are all extremely knowledgeable professionals within the field who offer students a well-rounded education through their various areas of interest."
