Summer 2024 Participant
My favorite part of the TEIK program has to be being able to walk away from this program knowing that myself and the other student teachers really helped to make a difference in the student's lives. I know that I will hold my memories of Kyunghwa very fondly for the rest of my life and I am truly grateful that I got to teach English and completely immerse myself in another culture!

Summer 2016 Participant
The teaching experience and the time spent with the students outside of class were the most rewarding aspects of this practicum. Getting to be in front of a classroom teaching a lesson you created-there's nothing that can compare with that experience. I have always been a strong believer in learning through experience and this practicum gave me absolutely wonderful experience. Also, the students were just fantastic people. They were eager to learn, quick to catch on, and just all-around jovial, fun-loving girls. I am going to miss them a lot.

Mandeep Kaur Ballagan, Summer 2016 Participant
The most rewarding element of this program was forming and creating bonds with the students. Many of the students were shy when they first approached us and were insecure about their English speaking skills and it was the most rewarding thing breaking them out of that initial shyness and seeing them grow more confident in their English speaking abilities.
