She also worked as an administrator and Russian translator in international development agencies. She loves Grand Forks for its kind people and convenient living. Jill also taught English to refugee and immigrant high school students and adults in Minneapolis and St.

She spent two years teaching English in the South Pacific country of Tonga with her husband. She also worked eight years in broadcast journalism as a television news photographer, reporter and producer. Melanie is originally from North Dakota and is happy to be back working with international students in her home state. In this Center I made many friends from different cultures and countries, I learned that English is very important to me if I want achieve my goals.
Even though in the beginning everything was difficult because of the language and the new environment, I learned that it was just a phase and everything became a piece of cake. This experience was one of the most exciting in my life. I enjoy very much the time that I spent in ELS. ELS showed me many things that I didn't know when I came to the US.
I spent more than a year learning English at ELS. If I'm speaking and writing in English, it is because of ELS. ELS gave me an essential education preparation in order to study in an American university and college. The classes are very fun and interesting. The teachers are awesome, to say the least. Each of them had a different method to teaching and they gave to students many opportunities to speak inside or outside from the school.
I don't know what I have to say more about ELS. I just want to say that I'm thankful for all months I spent in this Center and I will never forget what I learned here.- Shanice,Angola. Anacleto. June 8, 2. I am unsure of what to write in a couple words to describe my experience at the ELS Center. First, during such and amazing time I have met many different people with different beliefs. I fulfilled one of my dreams; making new friends from all over the world.
Everyone together at ELS brings me an undiscovered feeling of happiness. Therefore, ELS Center filled a gap in my life. ELS has a fabulous environment in which to study. North Dakota is also one of the safest states which is nice. Most people from this city are friendly and they always give me a hand.
A good environment can influence many things, such as our emotion and study. I feel lucky I decided to come here. ELS has a great English education. Teachers are friendly and they helped me a lot.
They always encourage me to try to solve many problems. I also like to talk to the teachers to improve my English. Overall, the teachers are great and ELS has the best teachers I have ever met!
One of the great parts in ELS life is meeting friends who are from different countries and nationalities. I like to talk with them because I can understand many things which I have never heard before. For instance, we share our cultures and customs; we also help each other with our English skills.
The greatest part of ELS is activities. There are many activities which I have never tried in China, and they are exciting because we can get together with students from around the world who make life amazing. The activity I enjoyed the most was skiing! I also like to go the movie theater because movies are a good way to practice my language skills. All of these wonderful ELS experiences will be buried deep in my heart forever.- Zi Jin ,China.
Delcio Cardoso. October 1. Well, let me begin by stating that study abroad is not an easy task for anyone! At the ELS I could not only learn English as a second language, but also I could learn basic skills that would be beneficial for my academic journey or even for my future career. For instance, in reading classes, we were taught how to think critically and how to come up with arguments or questions every time we read something. Also, besides focusing on improving students' writing, reading, speaking, and listening skills, it seems to me that the ELS is also concerned about getting students involved in American culture.
That is, while in ELS, I took part in various activities (though I should have done more!) where students had to interact with each other and speak with Americans as a way of practicing what they have learnt in class. That was really helpful because we could measure our level of English and perhaps work on our weaknesses. Overall,I had such a great time at ELS, I made a lot of friends there, and most important I was able to learn one of the most spoken languages in the world. So, I encourage you all to keep working, never give up, always be assertive, and never forget to enjoy every single moment at the ELS. I assure you that it is worthy!! Thank you ELS family : )- Delcio Cardoso, Angola. Flavia. February 2.
A friend who studied at ELS told me about the school, the University of North Dakota, and Grand Forks. I am a student from Brazil and always had a dream to study outside of my home country. ELS is giving me this unique opportunity of learning English with outstanding professors.
They are preparing me to start my Master’s degree in Biology, here at the UND. When I first visited both ELS and the Biology department, the teachers and professors gave me all of the encouragement to move to Grand Forks and study here at UND. Since that, I was sure I would be successful in my education here. Grand Forks is a beautiful and safe city to live. People here are very friendly and good to stay around. The same thing is the administration crew and teachers at ELS!!! I can easily say that ELS- Grand Forks is a great place to help improve the international student’s education.
And I cannot forget to mention all of the new friends from different cultures! I really feel comfortable, happy, and realized here!!!- Flavia, Brazil. Carlos and Alma. February 2.
The quiet place and friendly ambience of Grand Forks make us feel comfortable and safe. We can develop our language, build our skills, and meet many people from different parts of the world. The ELS center in Grand Forks gives us the opportunity to have an experience into an international university environment and meet the culture around UND. The teachers and staff from this ELS center are very friendly and helpful.
They always try to make our stay more enjoyable and pleasant where they plan different activities every week. So, the ELS from Grand Forks is the perfect place to study English and meet different cultures around the world. Within these months, I have improved my English and made friends. ELS Grand Forks prepares so many exciting indoor and outdoor activities such as ice skating, swimming, movies, and so on.
The teachers and administration are so friendly to the students. ELS Grand Forks is a great place to learn English in effective ways.- Enku,Ethiopia.
Kim. February 2. 0, 2. I really like Grand Forks and ELS.
Grand Forks is a small city, so it’s very peaceful and safe. It’s really good for students, especially girl students. I think this ELS center isn’t too big, so teachers and students are more familiar and have a good relationship. Also, every teacher always tries to help their students. In addition, I have a really nice host family. I’m a part of my American family and they’re a part of my Korean family.
We just love each other and we do many things together, such as go to hockey games and big holiday parties. It’s really helpful to adapt to a new country.- Kim,South Korea.
Ezechiel. February 1. I need English for my courses so that I can continue studying either at UND or at any college or university throughout the USA. Also, English is unavoidable nowadays. All over the world English is used. Therefore, I came to ELS. At ELS, both administration and students as well as teachers are excellent and reliable.
The teachers are astonishing. They are doing their best so that students can master English within good conditions.- Ezechiel,Burkina Faso. Jair. July 2. 0, 2.
Native American student from Grand Forks to attend Harvard medical school, wants to return to help Native youth. La. Rocque is among a small number of state graduates who are accepted to Ivy League schools, and the first Native American graduate of the Grand Forks School District to have done so in the past decade, according to district records. She’s also among more than 4. Native population under age 2. Her strong sense of self- awareness as a Native American has impacted her academic life, she said.“I’ve always known that how I perform in school and in the community is going to reflect on the entire Native American community,” she said. But I had the opportunity to experience a lot of different cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds, so I’m very thankful for that.”Attending two out- of- state schools run by tribes was very different than what she’s known of public education, she said.“The quality of education was not at all what it should be,” she said. In New Mexico, she spent her ninth- grade year on the Zuni Pueblo reservation.
Although it was a public school, the education was at a very basic level, and this was complicated by unmotivated teachers who may have been responding to unmotivated students, she said. Some students carried on their elder’s belief that being educated by white men takes away from their culture, she said. But the experience was also balanced by the tribe’s insistence – against the odds – on retaining their language, customs and culture, she said.“My native language is dying out and so is our culture, so just to see that was a motivating push to save those things,” she said. La. Rocque later returned to Grand Forks to live with her grandparents. She’s attended Central High School for the past three years, the longest she’s stayed at one school, she said. In North Dakota, reservation schools typically don’t stray from public schools, said Lucy Fredericks, director of Indian Education at the state Department of Public Instruction.“They pretty much follow the state curriculum, especially if they receive state funding,” she said.
Bureau of Indian Education schools, funded directly by tribes, follow similar standards, she said. For instance, the BIE has adopted the Common Core educational standards for math and English that are now being implemented in schools across the state. Preparing for the future. La. Rocque sought out opportunities outside of school to benefit her future medical career. While in New Mexico, she flew back to Grand Forks to attend a six- week summer program at UND that prepares Native students for health careers.
She also spent a few years working at Altru Hospital – both in the oncology and neonatal intensive care unit – through a school- related internship and a volunteer program, she said.“I’m sure before college I’ll change my mind, but so far, that’s what I want to do,” she said. But she’d also like to see education improve in classrooms and in attitudes among students, she said.
Controversy over UND’s Fighting Sioux logo – or really any aspect of Native culture – has sometimes put unnecessary pressure on students to be responsive or a representative, she said. Anybody associated with Native culture has been asked to give their opinion multiple times, she said.“I’m flattered that people want to know my opinion, but at the same time, that’s racism in itself to ask an 1. North America,” she said. La. Rocque cherishes her culture but hopes others can move beyond the stereotypes of buckskin dresses and Tonto, the Lone Ranger’s sidekick, she said. After she pursues her medical degree, she hopes to return to her reservation and work with the people there, she said.“I want to also work with youth and help bring a positive influence and emphasize the importance of education,” she said.
