I really enjoyed learning the histories as they relate to language learning. I noticed a lot that I recognized from my M.Ed. program. But this was more detailed and specific to language learning.

Dr. Shane's presentation about the ESL history is so interesting. I think this course not only tells us about how to be a good teacher, but also acts as a model of presenting an excellent course.

Thank you for the course. When I studied these theoris at the university it was boring . You made it fun and easy to understand. I even got a bit upset by the end of the course that it was over.
