IELTS Training

Davao is big city, but not popular for study abroad compared with Cebu or Manila. So we can experience local life, food and culture. Also school is very warm and we communicated teachers like friends. After studying abroad, my English was totally changed especially speaking. The biggest point is we have so nice driver and he took us everywhere in weekend. It was one of the best memory that we rode a back of car and singing, laughing with wonderful view and nice people.

Teachers are very kind and polite, we can learn language and culture very well. Also some teachers are student of university, so we can be good friends and have fun together. For me, it was great opportunity to make new friends and speak English. We can touch and feel new experience, this experience must become my unforgettable memories. Still now, I often call or talk Philippino friends, I could make new family in Philippine!

I learned English in Davao Language Academy in this August. I had a two English teachers there. It was very good. I was able to improve my English skills such as speaking, writing, listening and reading. There are a lot of shops in near DLA. I bought almost anything I needed. I used to go beach in weekends. Especially, in isla-reta, It was awesome and I could see clear water. Of course, I was puzzled by some cultural differences. In sum, I had productive days in Davao.

I like the classes because all of the teacher is very kind to me and teaches English easy to understand. Location is very good because our house adjoins our class room. it's ok even if student get up late.

One thing what I was happy in my heart is improving my TOEIC score.
when I took the tests for the first time, it's about 450,
I took the tests when I went back to japan from Philipines. And then, I got 615 point. So, I am very happy and I appreciate teacher in Davao.

Many teachers consider our goals to study English. Actually,as for me, my teachers taught me about IELTS!! I could study English for IELTS well. In terms of lives in DLA, all staffs takes care of us. You can ask them for anything.

I really like my experience in DLA, especially the classes and environment. All my classes were only one on one with my teachers, so I got great classes depending on my English level. Also all my classes were so fun, because all my teachers were so friendly and considering my English study so much. In the environment, I'd like to say just amazing. On weekends, Nieves always took us to many places in Davao, and we could experience so many activities with local people. I say definitely my experience in Davao was really helpful for me after that, especially when i studied in Canada for a year.

In DLA, I was able to learn not only the English literature, but more about the cultures by visiting the local areas and traveling around beaches. It was a great experience to learn about countries beside my own. Thoughout my stays, I was able to learn how people in Philippines spend their life and the gaps between Japan. The teachers were all very educated and taught us more than English such as communications skill, presentation skills and manners for bussiness. The location of the school was great filled with lots of nature and great view from the hill. During the weekends, they brought us to all kind of places where we asked for, and that was the most exciting part of the stay. We were able to refresh during the weekends and start the new week.

This was the first stay in Phillipines and foreign country more than a week(I studied at DLA for three weeks). In fact, I did not expect how great this program is before I visit DLA. My teacher was one intelligent woman who are about to be an announcer and she spoke very fluent English, so I think my English speaking skill were improved( the other skills also). At weekend, teachers took us to beautiful beach and swam. I experienced lots of things, so I cannot mention all here, but I enjoyed karaoke with my teachers and friends the most, maybe. Teachers taught us not only English but also Phillipines culture like current situation in Phillipines, law, government, food, climate, etc( When I asked them, they replied to my question immediately cuz they are so friendly). Thanks to this program, my English skills were improved definitely. Thanks to this program, I got more open minded person. I appreciate Nieves, the headquarter of DLA and my excellent teachers.
