Wang Chuan, China (Athletic Training major)

"I really enjoyed the AEG classes. In my opinion the AEG program is helpful for students to improve their English ability and not only pass the TOEFL test. Secondly, the teachers are warm-hearted. They create many chances to help us improve English through Breakfast Club and the Circle of Friends families. Anyway, last semester I learned a lot. I can't forget it at all."

Edem Akouete, Togo (Computer Science major)

"I learned a lot from the AEG classes. They helped me improve my English. It enabled me to read quickly and write correct English. The speaking and listening classes helped me learn to understand native speakers and learn idiomatic expressions. By the end of the semester, I was confident in English and was able to express myself clearly. "

Nodira Ismuhamedova, Uzbekistan (Undecided major)

" The AEG classes were great for me to improve my English language skills and to prepare me for academic work. They helped me adapt better to new environment. I made friends with students from all over the world and learned a lot about other cultures and countries."

Yosuke Suto, Japan (English major)

"I came to Troy to study English because I want to be an English teacher in Japan. The AEG program offers preparation for academic classes. The teachers give wonderful lectures, clarify our doubts and explain them clearly. I was in the AEG program for two semesters before I enrolled into the regular courses. I was able to catch up in the academic classes, as I could understand what the professor was teaching and take down useful notes in English. I feel that if one wants to improve their listening, speaking and reading skills, he/she should attend the AEG program."

Akari Katada, Japan (Political Science major)

"The AEG program helped me improve my English skills in reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar. It was also interesting as I could study the problems of American society. But, the most important thing was, that I learnt how to research sources and write papers, made many friends from different countries and learnt about their cultures and opinions."
