Student Voices: Casey

Helping others reach their language goals has always been something that has brought me great joy. Prior to this program, I struggled in planning lessons, developing entire course curriculums, and most importantly seeing the classroom and my own teaching from the student's perspective. The ILE: TESOL Program helped strengthen such weaknesses, thanks to the range of thought provoking courses offered and the open-ended guidance from professors. Additionally, the feedback from the hands-on teaching practicum towards the end of the program was vital to my growth. Now, I am confidently utilizing everything I've learned at a private high school in Tokyo and aspire to teach at other higher institutions in the future.
