My experiences with the MA program at Ohio State University have been exciting and enriching in so many ways. Not only did I meet many interesting people and make strong professional connections, I also had the opportunity to delve into methods and theories of English as a Second Language (ESL) and to conduct multiple research projects. The curriculum is well balanced and includes all of the main aspects one may encounter when teaching ESL. My professors encouraged my interests, allowing me to tailor my assignments to areas that interest me the most. They are able to see your knowledge and interests and support your academic and professional growth. I am inspired to continue my academic path further.
