Welcoming Fall with IELI

Students Celebrate Thanksgiving

In the spirit of the American Thanksgiving celebration, students in Level 4.5 and 4.6 Writing took a few minutes to think about what they are most thankful for. They wrote sentences using grammar structures that they had recently learned. Im thankful. . . . . . for my parents, who have raised me and have worked very hard. . . . for my God, who gives me a healthy body. . . . for my country, where I have civil rights. . . . for IELI, where I can study English. . . . for my room, where I can take a break and rest. . . . for books, which often give me inspiration. . . . for my clothes, which keep my body warm. . . . for the ability to see and feel the beautiful things of this world. . . . for my guitar, which I can play when I want to relax. . . . for the people whom I have met in Denton. . . . for my friends, who always help me and make me laugh.

students in IelI celebrated two american holidays this semester, halloween and thanksgiving. IelI teachers and staff helped students carve pumpkins in October (see above) and make costumes for the Fall 2 halloween Welcome Party (left).

My favorite school is IELI. It is a good school. First, IELI has many students. IELI has 419 students. They are international students. They are friendly and hard working. For example, Ash is a student in my writing class. He is from Pakistan. He is a good student. Also, there is one woman in my writing class. The woman`s name is Mafee. She is from Colombia. Mafee is friendly. Second, there are many teachers. IELI has 37 teachers. They are men and women. They are good teachers. They are smart and friendly. For example, Sandy is a teacher in IELI. Sandy teaches Level One writing. She is a good and smart teacher for me. Third, there are three classes. IELI has communication class, writing class, and lab class. They are small classes. For example, our class has only 10 students. In conclusion, IELI is the best school for me.

most of the time was spent in our car on the road. It is a real road trip! Before this trip, I had not been able to understand why Americans like this kind of trip. A driving trip, I had thought, would be a waste of time. It would be tiring and boring. Even worse, travellers might miss lots of famous or interesting scenery because of a lack of time. After I enjoyed our road trip, I realized that a trip is not just for seeing some museums or landscapes. A trip is a happy time shared with friends. Even though the cities we visited were extremely attractive, the most memorable and joyful part of our journey was

our time in our car. We talked, sang, joked, and laughed without worrying about what happened outside the car. The car was just like our final home, which could keep us out of rain, danger, sadness and trepidation, and leave us friendship and happiness. Time is fleeting, and a trip always ends. No matter how our life and our relations are changing, this short but everlasting trip will be one of the most indelible parts of my memory at IELI, which is like a box of chocolate candy that will always delight me whenever I open it.

Sharing Stories Across Cultures

For one of IelIs weekly speaking challenges, students in gillian grants level 5 Communication class shared a folk story from their home country with a classmate. their partner listened to their story and then summarized what they heard. here are two of the stories they recorded.
By Eri Nitta Japan Writing Level 4 Story told by Zhang Yue (Yorke) A long time ago, a boy lived in a small village. He was always thinking about the way to surprise people. One day, he screamed A wolf is coming! People were surprised and ran away from the village. He laughed at these people and enjoyed doing it. In addition, he did the same thing on another day. People got angry at him, and nobody trusted him anymore. Several days later, when he walked in a forest, he met a wolf. He cried to people to help, but no one came. He regretted his behavior, but it was too late. By Aehyang Chung (Aika) Korea Writing Level 5 Story told by Sophia I heard a Chinese story about a girl. Zhu was a rich girl who went to a school for boys, wearing boys clothes. She had a good friend whose name was Liang. He was a poor boy, and she liked him. One day, Zhus father decided on a marriage for her. She did not want to marry a man she did not like because she liked Liang. Zhu told Liang a lie that she had a sister, and she wanted to meet him, and told him to come to her house. But, her father had already accepted her marriage to another, and Liang could not go to Zhus house, so he became sick and died. On Zhus wedding day, she went to Liangs grave and dove into it. Then she and Liang became butterflies and flew into the sky together.

In the Kitchen With IELI

During the Fall 2 2010 term, IELI introduced elective classes. Elective classes are one-time classes that students can sign up to take for fun! There is no grade - just an opportunity for students to learn something new about American culture and practice their English with other IELI students and teachers. This term, two IELI teachers offered American cooking classes in their homes. Keep reading to find out what the students learned to make. Winter Soups Class with Lisa Hollinger
On Friday, November 19, 8 students (Amber, Fadel, Khalid, Hoang, Sarah, Soyo, Wei and Zaki) and the brother of one student (Fadels brother, Mohamed) went to Lisas house. They learned to cook three soups, which were butternut squash soup, turkey chili, and lentil soup. They were helped by Lisa, Lisas mother, Linda, and Lisas two children, Eden and Rowan. Soyo brought some snacks to share with the group as they cooked. The other students brought chocolates to eat after eating the soup. When the soups were done, everyone taste tested each soup. Amber wanted to vote for all three soups, but Eden insisted that everyone chose one soup that was best. The final vote was: lentil soup, 6, butternut squash soup, 4, and turkey chili, 3. Lentil soup won the competition. Please read below for the award-winning recipe!

IELI Students No Good Very Bad Day

Students in DH Shreves Level 2 Writing classes were assigned in groups to write a circle story (one person writes the first sentence and passes it to the next) about a really bad day.

Homework Fun: learning english from television

Lauras Fall I Communication 3 classes studied TV. They watched a show they had not seen before and then shared their opinions about the TV shows in reviews. By Erika Garcia Mexico Writing Level 3 Bones is a TV show about cases of crime. The category of this TV show is drama. The principal characters are one man and woman. They are like police. The most important thing in this TV show is that they need to find evidence about crimes. The story starts when they find a murdered body. They only find her or his bones. They always find how to resolve it. In addition, this TV shows main characters talk about their relationships and their life. The chapter that I saw was about a young lady. They were looking for some clues. They found evidence at the crime scene. She was working at a factory. They needed to talk with some people. The co-workers didnt talk about her. That was very strange. After they were checking some evidence, they found who killed her. The killer was an ex-boyfriend. He worked in the same factory, but the company decided to dismiss him. He didnt want her to continue to work there. He was jealous, and for this reason he killed her. This TV show is interesting because you really dont know about who was the offender. You need to see the whole episode to find the answer with them. This TV show is 4 stars. I think that if students like shows about police, investigation, crime, and murder it is a great recommendation. By Yu-Ruei Jang (Ray) Taiwan Writing Level 5 Glee is a good TV show. It is talking about a high schools chorus club. This was a famous club in the past, but now it is not famous. There is a teacher whose name is Will Schuester wanting to lead the club to win a championship in a chorus competition. This is a very fun comedy because they do not have a professional singer, so they need to find some good singers. If students want to learn English, they can watch this TV show because it is not just a drama. We can listen to music and enjoy their songs. If students really like listening to music, I think that this will be a good choice to learn English. I will give this show 4 stars. I think that I hope to watch better shows in the future, so I cant give it 5 stars.

students in gillian grants Fall 2 2010 level 5 Communication classes formed a book club, and each chose a book to read for fun. here are some of their thoughts on what they read.

The Merchant of Venice by William shakespeare

By Hung Shuohui (Sophie) Taiwan Writing Level 4 I had a new experience when I reread the The Merchant of Venice last week. I read this novel in the Chinese edition when I was a senior high school student, and I thought that the story was interesting, and some characters in the story were smart and helped each other. For example, Antonio could save his life because Portia found the trick in the agreement of the loan. Also, Antonio and his friends not only offered money to each other but also gave a hand to each other. However, now I think that there are many unfair events in the story. Hung Shuo-Hui First of all, the characters in the story had biases against Jewish people. For example, the main character, Antonio, criticized Shylock about his dress, behavior, and the way of managing his business. On the other hand, when the Jew, Shylock, had a chance to speak out about what he thought and take revenge, he was called cold-blooded or the devil by the Christians. Secondly, Jewish people were seen as miserly with money. For instance, one of the reasons that Antonio hated Shylock is that Shylock received the interest from the loan which he lent; however, Antonio always lent his money for no interest. This behavior must be seen as an abnormal action in modern society. Third, the Christians always were depicted to be generous or kind; on the contrary, the Jews were described as misers. In the story, even Shylocks daughter hated to be Jewish because her father could not offer good food or clothing to his servants. However, some Christian characters who gave their servants better treatment may have not had enough money to maintain their lifestyle in the future. In my thought, this behavior is wasteful, and they just want to keep their worthless reputation. Finally, the Christians were portrayed as brave people; however, the Jews were portrayed as being afraid of death or losing their property. This was shown in the court scene. In conclusion, I was attracted by Shakespeares depiction of each character, plot, and detail when I read the novel. However, I am not able to accept those unfair viewpoints, especially in the race aspect. The reason why I have a new experience may because of my improved English. Reading novels can not only help people have fun in a foreign language but also help people absorb many new words using this method. Therefore, I thank Ms. Grant for giving us this special chance.

Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde by Robert louis stevenson

By Namhee Kim Korea Writing Level 5 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a very famous and popular novel, as most people already know. If someone had asked me if I knew about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I would have answered, Of course, I know about it! However, ironically, I had never read this book or watched the movie although I knew all about this story. I thought our class book club was a good opportunity to read the book, so I chose it. This book was more interesting than I expected. Whenever I participated in the book club, my book club members and I all said, I wonder what will happen next! The view of this story is told through Namhee Kim Mr. Utterson. Mr. Utterson observed every situation and gave clues about Mr. Hyde. Although everyone knew Mr. Utterson is actually Dr. Jekyll, the development of this story was thrilling. In the book club, members of our team asked questions to each other. My favorite question was, Would you like to be a person like Mr. Hyde? Every person has a weakness which is difficult to overcome. In my case, I feel shy in strange situations. It is better than before, yet I still feel shy in some situations. If I got Dr. Jekylls medicine, I would use it in those situations. However, I just wish my face would not change like Mr. Hyde. Reading in English is really good to improve your English. However, as everyone knows, it can be boring for international students. I recommend reading English novels. It is not only interesting but also good for development of English. Lets find another book!

Gladiator by David Franzoni

By Yang XuHao (Howe) China Writing Level 6 I think that Gladiator is a great book. It tells a story of an ancient Roman hero, Maximus, who suffered great difficulty and tribulation to achieve his goal. He experienced various identities in his lifetime, such as being a general, a prisoner, a slave, and a gladiator. It is unbelievable to imagine facing so many big changes in a life, and the way was so tough, but he reached his goal finally. Thus, he is a great man, and his story teaches us how to live strongly when we meet difficult situations. In addition to understanding the great life of Maximus, I still learned another truth from this story. A man has options when he faces his difficult time; he can obey or fight fate. The former may be easy to choose, but for the latter you must lead a hard life. However, the story of Maximus tell us that one should struggle for his fate if he holds a dream or a goal, and that is what real life is all about.

The Hound of the Baskervilles by sir arthur Conan Doyle

By Aehyang Chung (Aika) Korea Writing Level 5 I read a book called The Hound of the Baskervilles. Before I read this book, I was excited because I had never read a story of Sherlock Holmes before, and I like this kind of genre. However, there are many characters in this book, so it was a little confusing and was a little difficult for me to tell which characters are which. What I thought of this book is that Watson, who was a great friend of Holmes, did a good job. He sent messages to Holmes while Holmes was not with him and observed each persons behavior. Without him, Holmes could not have solved this case. I am not that satisfied with this book, but if someone says he likes this type of genre and wants to read it, then I would recommend it because Sherlock Holmess stories are quite famous.

The Scarlet Letter by nathaniel hawthorne

By Eri Nitta Japan Writing Level 4 At first, I was not interested in this book because I didnt know the old system of the scarlet letter A. However, as I continued reading it, I gradually understood her situation. While reading, in my mind, I sometimes encouraged her and Mr. Dimmesdale, who was a priest, and sympathized with them. The main character, Hester, was a very strong and independent person. I can respect her because if I were her, I would not stand the situation she had. She never gave up her desire, and she brought up her child without any help. This book shows how in the past punishment was strict, and a womans life severe. When I finished reading it, I felt happy because Im not living in such a cruel society.

Eri Nitta

The Scarlet Letter by nathaniel hawthorne

By Xia Ning China Writing Level 6 The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, tells a story set in 17th century Puritan Boston. Hester, a major character, had a daughter with a man (Dimmesdale) outside of marriage. Because of this, she was given a scarlet A to wear on her breast to remind her of her guilt and sin. She did not tell anyone who her daughters father was because she wanted to protect her daughters father, who she loved, even though she had to wear the scarlet A on her clothing for the sin she committed with him. She was very brave and did not think that she was wrong. Dimmesdale did not tell anyone that he was the man who made Hester pregnant, and he was very sad. Although he did not wear a scarlet Aon his breast, he had a scarlet A in his heart. Finally, when he let people know his feelings, they sensed a scarlet A which was branded in his heart. This is love. Love is unreasonable. Their daughter was the best gift for them.

{ALUMnI CORneR}
By Meghan Merchant IELI Student Counselor
IELI students come from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. Some need to fly only a few hours to land in Texas, some, an entire day. All, however, have gathered at IELI because mastering academic English is a common goal. Following are the stories of two graduates.

Hide Kawada Japan

In 2000, Hide Kawada started IELI classes in Level 3 Communication, but after one week of school he asked to switch to Level 2. He had difficulty understanding what others were saying and was frustrated with his ability to communicate. His teacher, Lisa, wouldnt let him switch. Instead, she encouraged him that overcoming the challenge would make him a better student. After that, I promised myself that I would not complain or be negative about the circumstances around me, and I studied hard, Kawada said. He passed all of his classes at IELI and even gave the Level 6 speech at his graduation ceremony! After graduating from UNT in 2005, Kawada returned to his home country of Japan. He now works for Avex Group, one of the biggest music entertainment companies in Japan. He works in the music publishing department and communicates with music publishers and composers outside of Japan and uses English frequently. In fact, Hide Kawada Kawada has had to learn many special musical and legal words in order to negotiate with publishers. He hopes to one day be involved in a GRAMMY-winning project and to establish his own company and music production team in the U.S. or Australia. One of his most proud accomplishments is learning English. I am so lucky that I can communicate, do business, be in love, and hang out with 18 times more people than when I spoke only Japanese, he said. Kawadas advice to IELI students is to work hard and not give up on achieving your plans. All of the experiences I had at IELI still help me now in terms of not being too afraid of speaking to new people I meet from all over the world.

Raul Valdes Cuba

Raul Valdes is a successful fulltime musician, living and working in Dallas. He is also a former IELI student. When he first arrived in Texas in 1998 from Cuba, Valdes didnt speak any English. He started classes in Level 0 with teacher Sandy Stroo, and continued in IELI through Level Raul Valdes 6. He found out later that Sandy spoke Spanish but had never told him so that he would be forced to use English as much as possible. The thing that stands out in his mind from his time in IELI is the overall environment of the program. He remembers his teachers and classmates, welcome parties in the Union, Six Flags trips, and visiting his teachers home. Valdes says that he didnt just learn English in IELI. He learned about American culture and history while improving his language skills. He remembers reading Martin Luther King Jr.s I Have a Dream speech for the first time, in particular. Your life changes after IELI. Without language, you cant do anything. Learning English is one of the most important things in my life. With English, I can work, teach, do clinics, and network. Since leaving IELI in 2000, Valdes has played percussion in music festivals around the country, including Austin City Limits, and with blues musician Lucky Peterson. His advice to current students is to learn as much as you can, enjoy your time in IELI, and keep in touch with classmates. If you are an IELI graduate, we would love to hear from you. Please visit the UNT-International website, http://www. international.unt.edu, to find contact information for IELI instructors and staff.
