“While it was slightly terrifying to be the main teacher to my classes, it was incredibly empowering and I learned so much about myself and my professional identity. It was neat to get the chance to teach online and to students in another country. What an opportunity!”

“Participating in the ELP program has been one of the most rewarding things I have done in my time at PFW.”

“I have learned so much from my students and how to become a better teacher. It solidifies my decision of why I want to be an ESL teacher.”

“The TENL program has provided me with opportunities of professional growth through high expectations in the classroom and teaching opportunities. The ELP program has helped me make connections between methods and theories learned in the classroom and actual teaching. Furthermore, the TENL program provides a space for collaborative learning, which has given me the chance to form great relationships with peers and professors in the TENL program!”

“The ELP program enhanced my educational experience at PFW by making me give even more into this subject and really apply in practice the many things we have spent so much time learning.”

“The strengths [of the TENL program] are in the thorough exploration of educational and linguistic theory. I think another area of strength would be the development of a community of practice. I felt connected to my professors and classmates in ways that I did not in my other courses of study.”
