What our ILSC-Montreal students say about the program:
<!-- Alternate content for non-supporting browsers --> Sorry, you will need a browser that supports inline frames to view these testimonials.<br /> <br /> Eun Joo Jang KOREA I want to be an English teacher in my country, but I didn't know how to teach English. However, now I know how to write a lesson plan and how to make students interested and how to make them understand. A few days ago, I found an advertisement for English teacher. It said they wanted to see my 15 minutes demonstration in real class. If I wouldn't take this class, I must have felt nervous and uncomfortable. But now 15 minutes demonstration is a cup of tea to me. I'm full of confidence. I'm so glad to take this course. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mi Yang Hong KOREA I'm really appreciating that I had so many opportunities which are very helpful to teaching during the course. Before this course, I hadn't imagined myself to teach language. However, I've already got used to preparing and doing hard work for teaching now and I'm very glad that I've been a part of this course. This course has not only the information of the way of teaching, but also the information of the test (TKT). It will be great advantage for me in the future. Like I said it was tremendous experience and I'm glad that I've been through as well and thanks for our trainer Sarah's passion and enthusiasm for this course! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Myoung Sun Kim KOREA This course is such a great course. At the beginning of this course I was very worried about this course. However, as time goes by I was getting used to this course. I learned many things from this course, I would definitely take this course again. I think I improved many things about all sorts of English skills. What I want to say one more thing is that you have to enjoy your course and take it easy! Good Luck! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seon Mi Lee KOREA It was great! I learned a lot in observation and practicum. This course contents were appropriate each session! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seong Ha Kim KOREA I had very good experience and it was really helpful. Also this course made me to study really hard and improve my fluency in speaking English. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex Jordan COLOMBIA What can I say about the TESOL program! It has been one of the best experiences I have ever done in my life!! You don't only learn how to teach, you discover many qualities you probably didn't know existed in yourself! I recommend this course to everybody!! I love the TESOL program! If I ever become a teacher, I would love to be like a TESOL trainer! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ha Youn (Angelica) Kim KOREA What a course!! It has been such a great time studying TESOL/TKT in Montreal. I still can NOT believe this is all over. I still remember the first day entering to my input session room and meet my tutor and other 2 students. It almost felt like my home, and for sure, I'm going to miss here so much. Whoever comes up to me and ask about the TESOL/TKT course, I always recommend ILSC Montreal. Great teachers, students and course tutor. You get to have full time experience and practicum. ILSC environment...I'm loving it! This course is very intensive, so do not think this is going to be just having fun for 3 months course. However, you'll never regret doing this course. You wouldn't believe how fast the time goes by. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jae Yong Hyun KOREA It was really good experience that I taught English to real students. After that I could get rid of fear of speaking in front of strangers. Even if someone doesn't want to be an English teacher, it still has lots of good things. I think that every week has different things such as input, peer teaching and practicum. So it's really good and make students study hard and it also has lots of chances to read and write and speak. I won't forget about my teacher, Sarah, my classmates and ILSC and Montreal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nisreen Hmaidani LEBANON I feel so happy now, that I finished this course and I'm proud of myself. This is a serious course, very beneficial, new experience for new teachers, and for old teachers, this course will be great to improve many things in the way you teach. I feel that I have more confidence in myself about entering a class and giving a lesson, I learnt a lot. Sarah, our teacher is the best teacher I ever had, so supportive, she makes things easier on you, without each others support we would have never achieved our goals. Thank you for everything. I recommend every person who is still hesitating to take this course, and he/she will never regret. Good luck. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hye-Sun Min KOREA Even if you don't want to be a teacher this course is a great course for improving your English skills. If you want to be a teacher this course is the perfect course! You can practice teaching in class and can teach students in real class. I'm sure it was really valuable in my life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Felipe Moris Kwiatkoski Luiz BRAZIL Great course. It develops abilities you don't have a clue you've got. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eun-kyung Hwang (Amy) KOREA Learning how to teach is not easy obviously. But it's worth it. If you are interested in teaching, just do it! You'll improve not only teaching skills but also building good relationship with others. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tamae Toishi JAPAN If you want to be a teacher, it's a good experience! Sometimes, it was hard, but we can learn a lot. We could learn a lot from other teachers, and know different teachers have different teaching styles. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jung Ae Park (Joanne) KOREA It is a great course. I not only learned teaching skills, but practiced speaking a lot. Also, I found and developed some good points of mine as a teacher while realising and improving some points that I need to. I had a lot of chances and time to think about relationship between people, not only about a teacher and students, and I think I understand other people better than before. My trainer was very friendly, nice and encouraging. I learned aspects and qualifications as a good teacher as well as teaching skills and knowledge from her. I was happy in this course and I won't forget the time I studied here. Peer teaching is a great way to practice teaching. There is less pressure than practicum, and feedback from peers and the trainer is very helpful. Also, by observing many teachers, I learned various classroom management skills as well as teaching skills. Assessment process is always clear and fair. I could see how much I have improved and which parts I should work on more. It was helpful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kyung eun Byun KOREA I learned many things from TESOL program. Of course, it was tough. But it was one of the best experiences I've had. It is organised and all steps have reason. I was satisfied with this program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eun Ji Kim (Lily) KOREA First of all, I've never taught English before. When I did practicum in the first Module, I was so nervous and embarrassed. I couldn't deal with students. But since then, I was never nervous in my practicum and I learned how to deal with any difficulties. I realized that I've improved a lot teaching skill and I found the confidence in me. I couldn't believe that I completed this course. I'll never forget the time that I've studied with my classmates and tutor. It was pleasure to be here. I want to recommend ILSC TESOL course in Montreal. It's going to help you to learn teaching skill. I love ILSC. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shin ae Song KOREA Through this course, I found my ability that I can teach kids and beginner well. That was really good experience for me. Every single activity, every session was helpful to learning how to teach learners. It was such a good experience to observe and practice in the real classes. I'm not going to forget about that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yukiko Sugihara JAPAN ILSC is the best school that you can learn and practice languages. You'll see attractive lessons with great teachers, a lot of students from different countries; German, Swiss, France, Korea, Japan, Spain, Mexico, Colombia and so on. You can feel a multicultural city as well. The courses are mostly focused on communication, all you have to do is just open your mind and enjoy the lessons and school activities with your classmates! The experiences in this school will be wonderful! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In-young Choung KOREA When I found TESOL course through the Internet, I considered the ones who had done the course as very great people. When I was taking the course, it was definitely challenge and required a lot of patience, but as I learned new things, I was getting to enjoy more what had been doing. Moreover, our classmates were really nice people who could help and encourage each other and my teacher was accurate, funny and also warm, which was the biggest reason I liked the course. I couldn't believe how well we all cooperated and how successfully we made our own lessons at the end only from this 3 month course. I felt as though I was a real teacher who controlled my students when I was doing the last practicum, which I really enjoyed being a teacher because my students were following me well and I saw them learning and improving their English from my skills. I couldn't have ever had this kind of experience if it wasn't for this course. As English is also the second language for me, I am more proud of myself, and I am sure anyone can do this as well if they are not afraid of things. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JinSeong Jeon KOREA This course was super great course for me. Everything was great and well-organised. Even though it was hard, I enjoyed this course and learned a lot of things. I will never forget this experience. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SeoRi Park KOREA It's really great nice course. Even though this course is TESOL course, I learned not only teaching skill, learned how to get a good relationship between a person and a person, and I got a good positive things about myself that I'd never known. It's really nice experience that I'll ever get that chance in my life any more. It was amazing!! I'm going to miss this course and Sarah. Soae Lee KOREA Hi, my name is Soae Lee and I'm the one of the students who graduated TESOL course at ILSC just now. Whenever I recall the memories in TESOL course, there are only good things even if I felt difficult and hard at that time. I like the environment and the teacher of TESOL at ILSC. Everything was prepared for us - I mean, enough computers, materials for our studying, coursebooks, reference books, etc. - and the teacher was very good. She always tried teaching us in an efficient and effective way. From that, I could also learn how important teaching is. This opportunity that I joined in TESOL at ILSC completely changed my way of thinking. Honestly, I hadn't been thinking of being a teacher but as time went by, I soon realised the worth of it and now, I'm thinking of being an English teacher. I want to say briefly to everyone - Don't close the door but open every single possibility. No-one knows your future. Your experience at ILSC Montreal might change your life! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mi Young Oh (Vicky) KOREA This course is not easy to take, but absolutely helpful and great course! Coursebook and materials all are great, very organized and helpful. Especially, teacher (TESOL trainer) is very experienced, knowledgeable...I've learned a lot from the teacher. I realized that I've improved so much not just in English but also in teaching skills. It helped me a lot move onto next step in my life of teaching. Now, I'm proud of myself to complete this course and I found the confidence in myself especially in my teaching field. Course tutor is absolutely great. ILSC environment too. Someone who wants to be an English teacher or wants to learn teaching skills, I completely recommend ILSC TESOL course in Montreal. I'll never forget the time that I've spent in ILSC Montreal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Youngah Kim KOREA It was such a great experience. I learnt a lot of things than I expected. I learnt not only how to teach, but also working with the other people, and how to organise things when I plan something. I think it's really useful experience for anywhere you'll be in. And also I was kind of afraid of working with other people because I had never done before. But through this experience, I also could know and prepare something like that for the future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karina Lorena Befart ARGENTINA If you love teaching or want to be one, you should take this course. Everyday, you will learn how to be a real teacher, being one! It is an incredible experience you can't miss. Don't miss the opportunity of taking this training. Hyun Soo Yoo KOREA Going abroad is one of the most precious experience in you life. And it is really important how you are going to spend your time. What is your purpose of going abroad? I can say that learning English is your interest. Here is the best chance to achieve your goal. This course means not only learning English, but also teaching English. How wonderful you teach English to learners from other countries... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Namki Kim KOREA That's fantastic!! Wonderful course!! One thing which is most difficult for me was waking up. But it was nothing. I got up automatically because of the pressure (except last day...!) Anyway I learned a lot of things from this course. Even though it makes you work hard, it's worth trying. Now I feel something missing. I don't know what I'm gonna do. If you are considering the course, stop thinking - just start it!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunyoung Park KOREA If you want to take a TESOL course, you have to take the Greystone College TESOL at ILSC Montreal. Because this course is so organised and practical. The input is helpful to know the theory and academic knowledge of teaching English. And the practicum has you face to real situation in class and honestly it is really fun. Now, I feel I am ready to teach and will be a good English teacher. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeonju Lee KOREA Do you want to be a teacher?
