저는 도미니칸 대학교 방학 프로그램 아메리칸 익스플로러(AEP)과정을 들었습니다. 시카고에 친척이 있어서 친척집에 방학동안 놀러갈 예정이었는데 부모님이 이왕 가는거 영어공부를 하고왔으면 좋겠다고 하셔서 시카고에 있는 랭귀지스쿨이나 대학에서 주최하는 단기과정들을 알아보다가 도미니칸 대학교의 AEP과정을 듣게되었어요. AEP는 미국에서 방학을 보내게 되는 외국인 학생들이 영어공부를 할 수 있도록 만든 프로그램이기 때문에 다른 어학연수 과정들보다 힘들거나 빡센 과정은 아니에요. 월요일부터 금요일까지 오전에 강의를 3개씩 듣는건데 여행이 목적이었던 저에게는 오전에는 영어공부, 오후에는 여행 두가지다 할 수 있게 되어서 좋았어요. 지루한 문법보다는 단어나 말하기 위주 수업이기 때문에 재밌었고, 가장 좋았던 점은 그곳에서 만난 외국인 친구들을 알게되었다는 점이에요. 저처럼 시카고에 여행왔다가 영어수업을 들으러 온 일본인 친구들이나 유럽에서 온 친구들도 있었고, 덕분에 친해져서 같이 놀기도하고 재미있게 보낼 수 있었어요. 그리고 방학 단기 과정이긴 하지만 3개월동안 꾸준히 수업도 듣고 말도 하다보니 생각했던 것보다 영어도 굉장히 많이 늘었어요. 선생님들도 굉장히 친절하시고 수업도 체계적이에요. 아 그리고 도미니칸 대학교는 나홀로집에 촬영장이기도 해서 학교도 정말 크고 멋있어요. 시카고로 어학연수 가시는분들 참고되셨으면 좋겠네요.

私はドミニカン大学で夏休みのプログラムであるアメリカンエクスプローラプログラム(AEP)課程を受けました。シカゴに親戚が住んでいてそこに休みの間旅行にいく予定でしたが、親からどうせ行くのなら英語の勉強もするのはどうって聞かれてシカゴにあるランゲージスクールや大学で主催する短期プログラムを探しているうちにドミニカン大学のAEP課程を聞くことになりました。AEPはアメリカで休みを過ごすことになった外国人が英吾の勉強もできるように作られたプログラムなので他の一般語学留学とはちょっと違いです。そんなに難しくてもないし。。月曜から金曜日まで午前に3つの講義をうけますが、旅行が目的だった私には午前は英吾授業、午後は旅行の2つができて売れしかったです。つまらない文法よりは単語やスピーキングの授業でしたから面白かったし、一番よかったのはそこで外国人のともだちができたのです。私のようにシカゴに旅行来たついでに英語の授業を受けに来たいろいろな外国人友達と親しくなって楽しかったです。そして休みの短期課程であっても3ヶ月間授業を受けたら英語の実力も相当上達しました。先生もみんな親切だし、授業も良かったです。あっ、そしてドミニカン大学は映画ホームアローンの撮影地です、それで学校もすごく大きいし、かっこいいです。シカゴに留学、または旅行の予定の方に参考になったらいいとおもいます。

ドミニカ大学のELSに語学留学して良かったのは、まず大学の施設が利用できることです。

どうせ語学留学するなら、アメリカの大学の雰囲気も体験してみたいと考えて、ドミニカ大学付属のこちらのセンターに申し込みました。
キャンパスは綺麗だし、アメリカの大学生に混じってカフェテリアや図書館で勉強するのはとても貴重な体験でした。
学生寮は清潔でした。同じように留学している学生達ともとても仲良くなれました。
授業は会話の練習が多くて、英語で自分の意見をどのように表現するかについてたくさん学ぶことが出来ました。
発音もたくさん鍛えることが出来て、自分なりに成長できたと思っています。
初めての留学で不安もたくさんありましたが、終わってみるととても名残惜しかったです。
いろんなことを経験して、成長できたかな、と思っています。

学校はシカゴ校外の小さい街の高級住宅街にあるのでとても静かな環境で勉強できます。

治安も良いので安心して生活することが出来ました。
シカゴの中心地まで簡単に遊びにいけるので、週末は友人と遊びに行ったりしていました。

学校の授業もカリキュラムがうまく組まれている感じがしました。
先生もみんな慣れている方ばかりだったので、教え方も上手だし授業も楽しかったです。
クラスも楽しかったです。
そして、大学の施設は全部自由に使ってよかったので、図書館は毎日のように利用していましたし、
フィットネスもたまに利用していました。

滞在は寮で生活していましたが、
アメリカ人とも仲良く慣れたし本当に良かったと思います。

田舎過ぎるのは嫌だけど静かなところで勉強したいという方にはとてもお勧めです。
