Bittersweet

August 18th, 2010

This past Friday, English as a Second Language Camp concluded their five week journey in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.  Students from all over the world hopefully had a rewarding, American, English speaking experience and we know that we enjoyed having each and every one of them.  Every student was able to experience a practice TOEFL test thanks to nearby Dickinson College where participants and teachers alike were able to assess their progress!  Final grades have been sent out and our wish is that every student is able to take what they learned and expand upon it until we see them again next year!  It looks like we have sent off 72 international students who have a better understanding of American boarding school culture and can speak, listen and write English more confidently than before.

Thanks to Martin Ma for sending us these great pictures from his time here at Mercersburg Summer during our ESL+ program.  The first picture is of the ESL+ campers in front of Ford Hall here on campus and the second pictures is of the group sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, pretty cool, huh?

The ESL Camp geared up for some bowling just the other day!

It was so much fun to watch :)  
The campers were so sweet … they even offered for me to join their team!!

The more I am around them, I swear their English is getting better and better… or maybe I am just getting to know everyone a little more!

Either way, I had a blast hanging out with them.. it was a great trip!
