“One of my close friends who had studied before at the ELA recommended me this program. She had studied at the ELA for one year. After she finished this program, she got a scholarship from the University of Pennsylvania. The most impressive thing to me was that she has improved her English language skill very perfect within a year. This is why I have chosen the ELA program. If you are craving for improving your academic English language skills very effectively then the ELA is the only one I would highly recommend you. It is the program which is very valuable to attend. I bet that you will never regret about choosing this program. :) :) .”

“I asked which ESL-program is the Best in Chicago to many international students. They told me that if I went to DePaul ELA, no matter what I will improve my English. My classmates who speak the same language speak English to each other even at the break time. That encourages me a lot and tells me all my classmates are purely focus on improving their English. If you want to learn academic English or serious about English, come to DePaul ELA .”

The teachers are amazing; all of them are the best teachers that I had in my life, so professional and so kind, Teaches with love and passion.”

“DePaul’s English Language Academy is located in the heart of the city of Chicago where it attracts many students from around the globe. Therefore, the diversity is really high at ELA. I can list more reasons why ELA is a great school and why I picked it but I would limit that to two more reasons, which are the great reputation of DePaul and the teaching effectiveness. The teachers here are really friendly and willing to help during and after classes. They don’t let you feel that there is a gap between the teacher and the student. This is what I like the most about ELA.”
