Statement: I asked which ESL-program is the Best in Chicago to many international students. They told me that if I went to DePaul ELA, no matter what I will improve English.My classmates who speak same language speak English each other even at the break time. That encourages me a lot and tells me all my classmates are purely focus on improving their English. If you want to learn academic English or serious about English, come to DePaul ELA.

Statement: DePaul’s English Language Academy is located in the heart of the city of Chicago where it attracts many students from around the globe. Therefore, the diversity is really high at ELA. I can list more reasons why ELA is a great school and why I picked it but I would limit that to two more reasons, which are the great reputation of DePaul and the teaching effectiveness. The teachers here are really friendly and willing to help during and after the classes. They don’t let you feel that there is a gap between the teacher and the student. This is what I like the most about ELA.
