Testimonials 

From the students...

Two of the activities I designed I was also able to deliver to a class of ~15-20 ELLs during my practicum at the International English Center in spring 2023. Students were given the opportunity at the end of each activity to anonymously write anything they liked and anything they didn't like about the activity. See some of their comments* below!

*Comments marked with an astrisk were modified slightly to correct minor grammatical, spelling, &/or conventional mistakes
