Testimonial

 

Peter Maximilian HM is a man of noble character. A dedicated and focused master of language arts and sciences with an adventuresome spirit, who always has in mind the benefit and ultimate success of each student. He is fluent in multiple languages and thus very familiar with the process which minimizes student frustration and efficiently leads to language fluency with success and satisfaction. The ICLA Curriculum LAT-theorem sessions are therefore customized to your current level and experience with the English language and thus during my training i received a clear and concise understanding of this process.        My final exam included a one-on-one teaching session with an ESOL-student from Chile, during which she gained a new understanding of the language structure. Wow! A thrilling experience for both of us... You will become a well-equipped, properly trained and confident, certified language acquisition teacher.            Peter enabled me, a native speaker, to see English from the perspective of an ESOL-student -- from an analytical and academic paradigm. Thus, a genuine paradigm-shift has occurred within my own life. This serendipitous consequence continues for me to be life changing and revolutionary. I seem to be learning the English language anew and my fascination with words has increased significantly. Also, he enhanced my understanding of the importance of saying what we mean and meaning what we say. Avoid ambiguity. Elucidate, don't obfuscate... I received a new awareness of and appreciation for multiculturalism and the errors so common within our speech.         I felt comfortable, confident and happy from day one. I know that the ICLA program will have a positive affect upon my future, and the decision to complete this training was actually birthed from an informal language teaching experience which i had twelve years ago. I now better understand this proverb: "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."      The ICLA faculty is friendly, open, and professional. They speak English with amazing fluency; care about the students; and have fun, vibrant, and dynamic classes. My practicum included several hours of observation and participation, interacting with wonderful ESOL-students from around the world. Wow! Awesome.....

 

  The ICLA - LAT training program utilizes a non-traditional approach to language acquisition, which i am very comfortable with, and confident in, based partially upon my own experience with a foreign language. The tuition is very reasonably priced. The school is located in a beautiful and safe area.      An Eskimo proverb states: "Yesterday is ashes. Tomorrow is wood. Only today does the fire burn brightly".  The ashes of my yesterday now seem further away and less troubling -- another unexpected consequence of completing this training. This step has freed me to focus more upon the fires of today, as i enter a new career and new phase of my life...    And so, the journey continues...
