Learning English in USA is a very interesting experience in my life. Actually, English is not the only thing I'm learning here, but also many other things I'm gaining as good experiences. I don't really know how is the Educational system in US schools, but if it is similar to what I'm noticing in my school while I'm studying English, it would probably be the best way that people could learn more than they suppose to learn.
I don't know if you agree with me or not, but I say that all because of the differences I've already noticed between the educational system in my country and the educational system in my English school here in US. In my point of view, here in my school the international environment makes a little different with things that we suppose to learn. Despite the fact that we are all here to learn English, all of us are learning many other things such as cultural differences.
However, it's not only about the international environment, but also about the way of teaching. For example, I can see that teachers in ESL, which is my English school, use different kind of skills to organize everything during classes. I really like that we change places, work with partner, work in group, have a trip to someplace helps you in your study or have someone giving you a presentation before you start new project.
Moreover, homework is really different here, because sometimes you have to do something required different kind of work such as visiting someplace to get information for the homework or doing a little research to find some answers. On the other hand, I've never ever done homework requires that I have to go somewhere or do some research to do it. In my opinion, I would be mach better in a lot of things if I were doing some of my homework as same as i usually do here in US.
In short, I really appreciated the educational system here in ESL, because I think it's very helpful for people to learn and experiment new things in addition to learning English. Also, after thinking about the big differences between the two educational system, I wish I could change the way of teaching in my country, because I think it would help a lot the new generation.

You seem to be really satisfied with the way of American education here in Austin. That's also why we are here in Austin far from our countries. How's the education system in your country? I think that each country has its own charater in the way of education.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Adel. I have experienced three courses in different semesters at ESL and it seems to me very interesting the way that teachers encourage us our English improvement with different and funny activities. I really think that teachers, I have had in those classes, have been very creative!
