May I introduce myself? I’m Li Hua
I am from China but I’ve been in Korea for 6 years. I’m a graduate student in Korea now
I chose my English name as HANA which means “Number one” or “Sole” in Korean. It also means “Flower” in Japanese.
I got to know about AELC from my friend who studied here last year. I was thinking about going to a big school in Cebu or Baguio but my friend really recommended AELC to me.
My parents and even some of my best friends didn’t agree with me going to AELC. They were suspicious of Philippine English and even I was a bit confused at first. But it turns out that everybody was wrong. I can say that it’s just beyond my expectation. I’m so happy that I chose AELC.
1. At first, I was worried about Philippine teachers’ pronunciation and accent. Now I don’t worry about it. Many Philippine teachers have really clear and accurate pronunciation. In some aspects, I prefer Philippine teachers to teachers from US or UK because Philippine teachers understand how hard it is to study foreign language.
2. Group classes are amazing. Most of group class teachers are Native teachers. They have a lot of experience and they know how to handle many students from different countries. Every group class seems like a famous Korean TV show “비정상회담(non-summit meeting)” which invites many people from different countries and the show host let the guests share the culture gaps with each other.
3. I met some family students from China and Korea. I feel like I wish Ihad studied English when I was a kid at an English academy such as AELCSchool becauseKids are not afraid of failure and always confident to speak. They make friends with foreign friends very quickly.
4. There is such a saying in China that "十年树木百年树人” that means It takes 10 years to raise a tree but it takes 100 years to have a good education system to raise children. The kids at AELC seem to have many chances to become independent and challenging by trying many new experiences that they can’t do in their country. I can see they step forward every day.
5. Apart from the education, the food is great. Just greater than the food of the University that I go to in Korea. Haha. This place is totally safe. I love the small swimming pool inside the school. I’ll miss the couch that I spent lots of time talking with foreign friends.
6. I’d like to advise to the management that it would be better if there is English Only Zone so that students can practicespeaking English more
7. I regret getting to know about AELC too late. I surely want to come back to AELC in summer again. I learned not only English but also a lot of thing from the Director and the teachers of AELC. And there is a person that everybody calls “ABUJI”. He showed me around the Clark city on weekend and I really appreciate it. Everybody here helped me to get used to the new environment so soon.
8. It’s been a month only in the Philippines studying English, but I’m sometimes surprised when I can understand the English movies that I never understood before. I feel like I’m getting used to the English speaking and listening environment and my English is improving so quickly. It was short but it was really a rewarding time for me.
9. I highly recommend AELC School to any of my friends or anyone else. Thank you so much.
大家好。我是AELC学院的英语语言研修生Hana
很开心来到这里学习英语。用现在流行的词语来表达这次的语言研修生活那就是”爆表”喽。说实话,在决定来这里学习之前,我的家人和朋友他们都在问我”为什么要去菲律宾学英语啊?去那学习靠谱么?有用么?不会白浪费钱和时间么?”说实话,我承认当时我的内心是有所质疑和动摇的。但是那句话很好,没有调查就没有发言权。真正来到这里之后,才发现,原来家人和朋友,甚至连我都是错误的,我们的担心是多余毫无意义的。
比你想象的更完美,出现了你意料之外的结果的时候,每个人的内心都是开心的。作为一名MBA在读生,我就以简单的SWOT分析法来给大家说下吧。
当飞机降落在克拉克机场的时候,已经是凌晨1点了,大家都会奢望“万家灯火,总有一站灯为你点亮。”是的,穿着绿色工作服的司机叔叔会在机场接你,到了学校之后学生经理会给你安排宿舍,稍微收拾下就可休息。落地平安,所有的担心和不安都是错误的。正式开学的第一天需要参加水平测试,学校会确认你的等级水平,然后给你安排课程,正所谓的“因人而异+因材施教”。也可以说是DIY式课程吧。好了,废话不多说,SWOT分析法正式开始。
SO方面:我们大家都担心的一个点肯定是语言环境了。这里的老师一部分是欧美老师,一部分是菲律宾老师。课程呢分两种,1:1课程,还有就是团体group class 课程。一对一课程,大家都应该知道,我主要说下团体课程,团体课程我选择的都是讨论类型的课程,不同国家和地区的人用英语讨论,不但提升了英语,而且可以了解不同的人文和见识,还可以看到不同的思考方式以及看问题的视角,完全就是“一石二鸟”的双赢么。
最主要的是我想说这里的小学生,基本都是来自中国和韩国的,当你看到两个国家的小朋友们在用英语交流讨论的时候,我可以看到他们的父母脸上的笑容,很满足很自豪骄傲。少年强则国强,我很开心可以看到祖国的花朵们在这里可以学习到这么开心。中国有句话是“十年树木 百年树人”,小孩们来到了这里学习了英语,体验了异国文化,而且学到了礼仪和独立和相处,如果经济允许的话,真的建议父母们可以带小孩们来这里学习。
其他就是住宿和饮食之类的。这里我觉得是很不错的,豪华标准间这些都不沾边,但是经济舒服到是可以来形容的,而且在菲律宾可以吃到新鲜的水果。饮食主要是韩餐为主,我觉得是很好吃了,比我们学校的还好吃,哈哈。
WT方面:事物都是一分为二的。有时候大家不自觉地就和自己国家人用母语交流,瞬间忘却了英语。哈哈 如果学校可以出一个规定,只允许说英文就好了。哈哈。
最后总结的话,AELC对我来说是“福地”一样的存在吧。这里的老师,即是老师也是朋友,老师教英语,而且给很多高质量的建议,让你变得更好,真的超感恩感动的。而且在这里遇到了好朋友,大家一起学习讨论互相鼓励,一起奋斗的感觉真的是好舒服。
之前看美剧从来都是萌萌哒,现在看美剧竟然可以听懂了,那感觉倍棒啊。虽然只是短短一个月,但是对我来说,却是很重要的黄金一个月。
文艺点说就是,为什么喜欢AELC,因为它发光啊。世界那么大,为什么不出来看看!你是谁,便遇见谁。遇见谁,你便是谁。梦想国度的脚步更进了,AELC,遇见,便不会错过^^
