Global English Institute (GEI)

The ESL Program has taught me a lot of things. I really enjoyed learning about a new culture, people and opening my mind to new things. This program not just taught me the language, but also that I have a family here.

Not only do I miss the fantastic and easy-to-talk-to staff members, but I also miss the opportunity to meet people from several different nationalities, including Americans, on a regular basis, while practicing/improving my English in every interaction.

I felt I learned a lot from GEI. The classes and teachers are all interesting. It is a good place to improve yourself and get ready for your future classes.

I would like to take this opportunity to show my heartfelt appreciation for the GEI family at Duquesne University for your interesting and informative classes. I had an incredible experience. In addition to the advanced methods of teaching English language, I was given the opportunity to practice and apply what I learn in different activities including conversation hour and the book club which I enjoyed immensely. That was an invaluable experience.

The GEI program was my first exposure to college courses. I learned academic skills such as essay formatting and note-taking to prepare me for my major classes. I also improved my English skills. More importantly, I was able to quickly immerse myself in American culture and experience cultural diversity with the help of the instructors and other international students.
