Dear ALP instructors,
I am very grateful to Mr. Sean, Ms. Plenert, Ms. Snavely, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Chong, and Ms. Minnis who dedicate all energy to instruct international students as me. I also am so pleased to have all of you to be my instructors in Fall semester. A good technical instruction from you is really meaningful to me to gain knowledge of how to write several essays and research paper ( Sean’s Class), how to read fast (Plenert’s class), how to write business letter (Chong’s class), how to write a report or to edit the newspapers ( Michelle’s Class), how to listen from diverse sources ( Snavely’s Class), and how to answer the trick’s TOEFL question ( Minnis’s Class).
Knowing several essays leads me to know which topic I should write in comparison and contrast essay, cause and effective essay, in argument essay, in descriptive essay, and in reaction essay. In a political science class, students need to know how to write the compare and contrast of two leaders. For instance, leader in Democratic Party has different policies from Liberal Party. Also, this class guides me to know how to find material from library sources, such as database, book, and other sources. The most important in this class, I am able to write a research paper which it can meet the university requirement.
Reading class is very helpful for me to build my vocabulary through writing vocabulary journal. Also, reading class helps me to improve my speed reading via some techniques, such as skimming, scanning, previewing, finding a main idea, and other abilities. The most important is group discussion. Therefore, the students are able to brainstorm deeper than just only reading article individually.
Business writing class is very vital. After I finished this class, I am able to write several letters, such as business, public relations, social business, email, resume, cover, recommendation, reference, proposal, and other letters.
Newspaper class incredibly is essential to me to improve in writing skill via writing a report, and editing an article. Moreover, being a journalist or reporter, this class guides me to know how to write a newspaper to match the target customer (ALP students). Moreover, after I finished this class, I know what it is different format between newspaper’s class and composition’s class. Furthermore, this class also educates me to know the technique of how to write main stream newspaper and alternative newspaper.
Oral and speaking class helps me to improve listening skill through several sources, for example, talk radio, English TV, English movie, internet, lab, and other sources.
I warmly am so thankful for your instructing international students like me.
Sincerely yours,
Veasna Chay
