"I chose the best way for learning English and tasting American culture through the ELI at HCC. The ELI gave me many opportunities to build my English abilities both in class and out of class. There are variety of programs, prestigious instructors, and considerate counselors at the ELI. They are always ready to help with a smile."

"My experience at Howard Community College was fabulous. I went to HCC to study English to prepare for the TOEFL test in order to study at University of Northern Iowa. When I came for the first time to Maryland my English was o.k. but not the best. Being at HCC not only gave me the opportunity to learn English but also to make good friends. I had a wonderful time..."

"I am fortunate to be enrolled in the English Language Institute which is an academic and intensive ways to learn English. The school provides me with the expertise of the teachers, applied homework, academic tests, independent studies, and challenges to communicate with other students who also don’t have English as their primary language."

"I improved my English faster than I thought. It is because of the good teachers I had... They motivate us. In my case, I was lazy to read books even in my native languages, but with the help of my teachers, I started to enjoy reading..."

"I also enjoyed a lot of things with the ELI program. I went to Washington, DC and New York. Also, we had several pizza parties and birthday parties.... Thank you, ELI."

"Salut tout le monde. J'étais un étudiant à Howard Community College. J'ai suivi des cours d'anglais avec l'ELI programme.

"Vraiment, les sept mois que j’ai passés à Howard Community College m'ont beaucoup aidé  pour mon futur domaine. J'ai vitement améliorer mon anglais grâce à tous les enseignants et les cadres de l'ELI programme. Aussi, j’ai fait beaucoup d’amis, et malgré que je sois un petit peu loin maintenant (North Carolina), je suis toujours en contact avec eux. Avec l'ELI j’ai visité New York et Washington, DC. C'était un de mes rêves de visiter ces deux grandes et magnifiques villes.

"Finalement, je remercie tous ceux qui m'ont aidé à Howard Community College. Une autre chose à ajouter, c’est que je consigne tous les étudiants qui auront l’occasion de joindre Howard Community College de ne pas hésiter parce qu'ils ne vont jamais regretter."

"The ELI couldn't be better; it is so good! I wouldn't know where to start. I have had the best experiences ever."

"There I was in my first class as an ELI student. The environment couldn't be better, the instructor was wonderful; my classmates, wow! I learned a lot from them. Everyday I was learning how to improve my skills and how to overcome my errors. Everyone at the ELI is united to help us to grow and develop. Being an ELI student helped me to see the world with the eyes of hope. Thanks, ELI and all the teachers. Thanks for your patience and thoughtfulness."

"Obrigada a todos que fazem do ELI essa grande familia!"

"I came to the U.S. for two reasons.  First, I married an American.  Second, I wanted to become a Cardiovascular Technologist. However, when I came here my English was not good enough to live here and to study in a college. I started studying in ELI before I began the Cardiovascular Tech program at HCC.  While I was an ELI student, I had very positive experiences and my English improved.  Now that I am finished, I realize how important the ELI program was for me to reach my dream.  Thank you!"

" アメリカに来た理由は二つ。まず、国際結婚。そして、循環器技師になる。しかし、アメリカに来たものの、英語もままならない僕は循環器技師の勉強の前に英語をまず取得する事が必要でした。そこで出会ったのがELIだった。ELIは色んな面でいい経験でした。そして今、循環器技師プログラムを修業するにあたり、ELIのおかげで僕の夢が達成できたと思います。ELIに感謝！"
