Ipek Erkus, TEFL, SUNY New Paltz - METU '10
I had a chance to live in a country with a totally different multicultural background. I learned so much about different cultures and traditions, making me a globally thinking person. This experience made me aware of ongoing changes in our global world. It is great to have a chance to experience different teaching methods and courses from different teachers, too.
After I graduate, I will have two diplomas that make me more powerful in my career as an English Language teacher in Turkey. I believe that because of this experience I am a more qualified and courageous person. It is not only an academic experience, but also a life experience that prepares you for life in a challenging world.
