Community Language Program - Learn English at Columbia University

I am a doctor and I needed to improve my level of English for my personal and professional development. I have found some excellent professionals and teachers who have helped me to learn this language. I have connected with students from other countries all with different time zones, and all with the same objective. The content of the courses is wonderful, very didactic and suitable for each level. I have found a second family, I have learned a lot, and even the conversation classes on Saturday have been really important to me. I recommend these courses and all the parallel activities that are organized. I am honored to be a student at Community Language Program, Teachers college, Columbia University.

I am really grateful to CLP because thanks to their English courses I attended, now I am able to speak and understand English. The classes are well organized and the method of teaching very effective. Moreover, it is really exciting to have young students as teachers. They are so committed, engaged, and supportive that it is a real pleasure to learn English with them.

I was very happy to study under my instructors, who made full use of the latest study materials such as videos and articles and encouraged me to incorporate newly learned English expressions into daily conversations and debates as much as possible. Also, through a lot of collaborative activities, I could develop a strong learning community with my classmates and make happy and warm memories. 

I loved having this chance to learn English in an easy way. All the resources prepared by the teachers were nice and useful for me. They always encourage you to keep going even if you are not doing so well. I’m looking forward to coming back again to CLP classes, I can’t wait for that!! The best way to improve my English skills is to practice with everyone and I think one wonderful thing for these classes is that you speak with different people around the world with various accents and cultures. The teachers know how to manage the classes appropriately, with fun moments at the same time you are learning. 

In this tough time for the world, these days with the pandemic many jobs have changed, and the ability to study has also changed. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to become a part of the CLP in the Summer and the Fall semesters with the chance to acquire knowledge. The teachers were great, and I really appreciate their work. I’ve benefited from their teaching because they provided me with a lot of English practice to prepare me for the next level of my future career. I want to thank the teachers for their support. It was also very helpful to take this course from my hometown. I truly enjoyed meeting people from different places of the world.

The CLP program has improved my English skills. We can meet many students from different countries. If I didn't start taking the CLP program, I wouldn't have met my great friends. And I felt the teacher taught English passionately, and always cared about every student. I have taken CLP classes for three semesters because I am satisfied with my experience. I really recommend this program!

I am a student, and I need to improve my English skills to adapt to school life. CLP is a good opportunity for me to meet excellent teachers and meet students who have different backgrounds. So far, I believe that one of the most exciting things about CLP is its interactivity. In every class, I can communicate a lot with teachers and students, and we build a nice relationship with each other.

I am a PhD candidate and I need to improve my English skills. I have had previous experience at the CLP and I am very proud and confident about my progress here. My favorite thing about classes is enjoying the infrastructure of a classroom and having the full attention from my teachers.

Currently I'm living in NYC and I need to improve my level of English for my personal and academic development. What I really like about CLP is to learn English with people from different countries and cultures!
