Language learning and teaching reimagined with AI.

"I have taken IELTS for 4 times before and I have been to private English high school. But somehow I was keep failing and failing. Whether I was lazy or the program was not that good. I have got 6.5 for 3 times and the last one I have taken 7 on IELTS. It was a really tiny improvement. It is actually crazy to think about how much material I have read and how much writing I have done. But my improvement were never visible in front of my own eyes. Your class was one of the most effective class. You knew how to make the students engaged during the class. It almost feels like you know exactly where to focus on more and how to improve that. I would not say I got the best in writing and reading. There are still things that I need to work on more but I can definitely say that I have improved a lot thanks to you. I have few absences to my other classes but my attendance was somehow 100% in this class without any tiredness. Maybe it is because you understand us. I think I wanted to keep the 100% itself and somehow it made me feel accomplished. For me, EIL 317 class taught me a lot. Thank you so much for your hard work. Thank you so much for the thing you have taught us. Much Mahalo!"

"The strength of this course is the teacher himself, not kidding! Dr. Pack is the best teacher, this course is really hard for both the native and non-native students but Dr. Pack did a really good job of explaining things simply. He builds up a good rapport and makes students feel safe to ask questions in his class. Another thing that I like about him is he will tailor the needs of students and change the way he teaches according to students' abilities. In our class we have a mix-ability class however are able to adjust this hard course to each student. He did not just give us assignment to do but give us meaningful assignment so we can really learn from this course. He knows what he is teaching, and he know what his purpose as a teacher!! Also willing to use his personal time to help each student!"

"This semester in EIL 317 has been a valuable learning experience for me. I improved my English speaking and writing skills, especially in organizing ideas and expressing them more clearly. The class activities and discussions helped me become more confident when communicating in English. I also learned new vocabulary and academic skills that will help me in my future studies. Sometimes the workload was challenging, but it helped me grow and manage my time better. Overall, I am thankful for this course and the support from you DR. Pack. Thank you so much for your all your efforts."

"I have learned a lot from this class such as improving my writing skill, better technique in learning academic vocabularies, citation, quotation and how to use AI in a right way of helping me learn my English. These helps me increase my ability to learn English better and also a skill to help me with overall academic learning. I love everything about this class but I think it would be better if you can give more time like two days for writing paragraphs. However, I really enjoy learning with you, it is clear and very helpful. I love everything about this class! Thanks for your wonderful skill of teaching and helping us growth in our journey."

"This semester was great and also hard at the same time, there were alot of times for to actually adapt to college life since I left school 8 years ago. EIL 317, at first I thought it was going to be hard and the most boring one, but for some reason because I had a great professor who guided and helped me, it made it fun and enjoyable."

"I really liked how passionate the teacher was about the course and he took it at our pace. The projects were fun and interesting and I actually felt interested in learning and not like I was having to do useless busywork."
