Fantastic experience: I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to the instructors and content if the classes. It’s a conversational based learning that allows every participant to share ideas and opinions. It doesn’t matter how good your English skills are, it’s meant to work on your weaknesses to improve them. I’d recommend for intermediate level of English skills. شكرا جزيلا لمعلمي الكورس علي مجهودهم المبذول دون تواني و محتوي الكورس الذي يركز علي المحادثة لإنماء مهارات التحدث دون تحضير مسبق. و أيضا الواجبات التي تهدف إلي تحسين قدرات العرض التقديمي . أرشح كورسات المحادثات الأكاديمية و تنمية مهارات التواصل لمن مستويات اللغة لديهم متوسط.

Positive experience: It’s frustrating that I can’t remember the English words which reflect my feelings exactly. Although, I think I should keep trying speaking in English. This program inspires me not to give up thanks to the teacher’s support and my classmates who have the same objective as mine.

Fantastic experience: I’m an undergraduate student in Taiwan and I’ve been participating in PACE online program for three weeks now. I think it’s a novel idea to open this kind of class and I enjoyed it very much. We started as total strangers from different cities and countries at first, but now I think we kind of had a bond together. Interacting with people in small chat rooms and finishing tasks and questions is quite fun and rewarding. I really appreciate Professor Rob for making this a great program!
