Soka University's ILE: TESOL Program boosted my confidence as a language teacher. As a graduate of Soka's economics department, earning a MA in English education was a huge shift of my career. Nevertheless, the practical training in the program including the teaching practicum and self-access experiences relieved my concerns. I now work as a full-time Assistant Lecturer at a college and always appreciate the training I received in the ILE: TESOL Program.
