American language program problems
American language program (ALP) has a lot of problems, and they must fix those problems to help students to study better. Since ALP has great teachers to help students to improve their English, and help them to pass a TOEFL with good scores. Alp has a three problem and if they didn’t fix the problems they couldn’t help students.
First problem they must fix are teachers. They have great teachers in alp, but some of them are not helpful in high level classes and they most teach in lower level classes. For example, when ALP accepts a new teacher they must put them in lower level classes. After the teachers can suitable in lower level classes then ALP can put them in advance level classes. But you can see in fall 2007 they accept new teachers but they put them in high level classes and the teacher are not helpful for those students who are in the high level classes.
Second problem is buildings they use for ALP students. After the class Alp students must walk far to another classroom, and they always get tired during the class. ALP must find a building only for ALP students for helping students save energy. Furthermore, teachers also get tired because ALP classes are far from alp office. If they could do this in the future it will be helpful for students and teachers.
The third problem is long break times. Students spend a lot of time between each class. And most of students in break time didn’t speak English and they just used their native language. Alp arranged long break time because they didn’t have enough buildings. So they can do another activity during class for example students can spend an hour with their teacher and classmates in the public place. It will be more helpful because student will use English. But now most students didn’t use their time in a good way.
Finally ALP will be the one of the best ESL Schools in the U.S if they fix the problems. So far they have great teachers in their program which is another school they don’t have. By the way ALP has one teacher who is always in level three, I think they must change her, or she needs to change her teaching ways to students for example, when I was in her class, most of student don’t like her class and they hate the teacher because she uses a wrong way to teach students. ALP must pay more attentions on students, and listen to students’ opinion, which is last time dean Norman told me.
