For Foreign Students: Why You Need to Get into an ESL Program
|
Posted By: Anica Oaks on November 01, 2017 Most foreign students who aspire to study in the USA are highly affected by the language barrier whereby they are not able to communicate fluently in English either through verbal communication or the written messages. It is thus critical for them to have a better learning ground for the English language other than the institutions they study to pursue their major career course. English Second language program will enable the students to polish their grammar and tenses in their communication. Polish English for Class Work Students come to the USA to study their professional courses that may include; engineering, nursing, doctors, lawyers and accountancy. For them to excel in their courses they will need to conduct group works, assignments, assessments and exams that are conducted in English. On this note if the students are not well conversant with their grammar and tenses, they may end up getting lower grades due to their expression in incorrect grammar. It is imperative to note that even in the technical courses, a great student in the course may fail due to improper expression of the answers in the assignments, class presentations and in the final examinations. Advance Your English for Job Interviews Most of the foreign students tend to undertake the courses that teach the English subject as a unit. They later develop only the basics of the language but are not enhanced with fluency in the subject. Schools such as the Interactive College of Technology will advise students who seek employment need to have great communication skills in the language that the company uses. On this note the students should thus seek to enroll for the ESL program that will not only provide the basics of the language, rather it will enable the student to gradually polish up on his or her weaknesses and thus able to express themselves efficiently. Eloquence in the English language will become a competitive advantage to the foreign students in the job market. As noted on the importance of fluent communication, students should aim to excel in their communication and thus succeed in their career course. Being eloquent also enables the students to have a great self-esteem and thus live positively. A language is learnt in steps and thus students aiming to know a particular language should gradually enroll on ESL courses that will aid them to become great communicators. English Second language program will enable the students to polish their grammar and tenses in their communication.
