I would of liked a video explaining step-by-step how to organize the portfolio. Also to have been told how to title all our micro videos. This took a lot of my time to organize.

SEVEN STARS actually, not only 5!!! I was able to finish my course in less than 3 weeks! I started June 4 2023 and received my TESOL certificate on June 21st. I was sleeping at 4AM most days because I was so eager to learn and acquire all the principles. All the assessments, activities, presentations are instrumental to acquire the necessary knowledge so please dont skip the videos! I swear I did not expect to see so much effort, passion and excellence from an online course but my expectations were waaaay exceeded. Thank you also for the detailed feedback, I will treasure it! Thank you so so much to Dr. Shane Dixon, Ms. Jessica Cinco and Dr. Justin Shewell and everyone for making this high standard of learning possible at the comfort of my own home, from overseas.

저의 학점이 도대체 왜 무효화 되었는지 설명을 좀 해주세요. 무효화될 만한 이유가 전혀 없었는데 정말 당황스러워요. 무효화 때문에 코스가 통과가 안 됩니다. 해결 좀 해주세요.

For the Coursera MOOC format, and the restrictions that come with it, this is probably as good as you're going to get. There is a level of intentionality in the content creation, design, execution that I was are unable to fully appreciate until months later. This team really did the best they could with what they had. The "hosts" may seem simplistic or corny, but they are not speaking this way for their direct students, but for their academic "grandchildren" - our future students. They are modeling the way we will need to present for our students. Isn't it gratifying that they believe in this program, and us, enough to believe that we will be hired in this field?

I thought the EdTech portion was unnecessary at the time... I just experienced numerous examples of the Great EdTech Gold Rush and felt profoundly humbled. Even the message board cries of students of this program who don't understand why there is such a grading/feedback/certification lag of the final portfolio.... as Freire might say "a moment of critical consciousness"... like the Matrix. Ma$$ education is a benevolent dream, but not if it's executed in ways that are uneconomic.

There really is no real way to get over the barriers of students who cheat or the lack of real class or teaching experience. I suggest that students should volunteer in tsol or literacy in their communities/online to gain this experience, buff up the resume, and get references. I hope the team will find a way to adjust the application elements.

Some of the meta- Coursera and ASU admin Instructions could be more clear.

We're in a time in which it is so difficult for students to analyze what quality education actually is. What are we owed? Does accreditation actually hold water? Is this another gate to dash through in order to get a job? What are the real rules? Is it worth truly trying? Points vs feedback/dialogue? Are you owed any satisfaction?

After completing this course, I signed up for a Masters TESOL program an local accredited institution. The program was all online. I feel so grateful that I took this ASU/Coursera course first, because I was able to evaluate the quality of the platforms/content/teaching. I was able to "check my gut" and collect pointed evidence that the Master's course was more of a Degree Mill than a quality institution. I wasn't crazy.

I appreciate you all. Michael Crowe should pay you better.

It's been such an incredible journey! Absolute pleasure! Overall, it took me 6.5 month to complete both Specialization 1 and 2.

Huge THANK YOU - ASU for this course and for a chance to become an ESL Teacher! Thank you Jessica Cinco, Dr. Shane Dixon, Dr. Justin Shewell! You are the role-models of teachers for me now and forever! And I've just recieved feedback to my Teacher Portfolio! Thank you, Joseph Axel for your review! Guys, the course is just amazing! Don't hesitate to take it. The teachers are great - true professionals. And I liked the way they teach - actually they show everything, give examples, use MUD (if you know what I mean :) Assignments aren't eazy, and they aren't supposed to be such! But, you know, when you complete the assignments, you can be proud of yourself! Each time you'll learn smth new. And it's so fun to explore this course both as a student and a teacher! I gained much experience throughout Teach English Now!

Teach English Now! Capstone Project 2 is a place where you use all the techniques and strategies you have learned throughout the program, create your own lesson plans, and show how you teach. It requires you a lot of time and effort, but the deadline is set reasonably, and the whole program will have trained you to do it effectively by the time you are working on Capstone Project 2. This program has given me more than just a certificate, it helped me grow as a person. Now, I am confident in my skills “outside the classroom”, such as effective communication and various techniques in the English language, all thanks to this program. I would like to thank Dr. Dixon, Dr. Shewell, Ms. Cinco, Dr. Axel and ASU Global Launch Team for making this program possible for all the learners worldwide.

This course encourages me to exhibit the teaching skills through the assigned projects such as micro teaching projects and teaching tool boxes. This course also empowers me to synthesize what is my teaching philosophy including teaching styles and teaching techniques as well as learn to promote my achievements by means of creating the personal site provided the details and teaching work of mine for the experts to review and for peer-review. Additionally, I obtain the good relationship and assistance from friends in class even we have never seen each others before, besides the worthless knowledge I got form this course. I'd like to say Thank you many times to the lectures. I do so enjoy and happy with this course.

Dr. Shane Dixon /Ms. Jessica Cinco:

I am so very humble for successfully completing Teach English Now! Capstone Project 2.

Please know that even though this was a very tedious journey, I feel that ASU has prepared me with the tools necessary for venturing out on furthering my studies in TESOL Certification. Your professionalism, knowledge, and presentation displayed toward this course, has helped broden and enriched my horizons.

Thank you for the preparedness and welcoming atmosphere that you compiled during this journey. Your presentation videos were what inspired me more than anything.

This is one of the best course I have done. The high level of teaching, the quality of the material and the structure made this course so good and of higher level than many others done at schools. The ability of the teachers to make every class so especial, made this course more relevant than it seems to be. The techniques taught can be used everywhere.

I highly recommend the course for those who wants to become a teacher, not just an english teacher, but a teacher in any course. Better teacher produces better professionals, and this is how a student can get more from one course.

What can I say? how can I express my gratitude? Inspiring, Motivating, Engaging, Flawless. There is a myriad of words that can describe this Specialization. The knowledge acquired is complex yet meaningful in every aspect of Teaching; the more difficult tasks became, the more engaging it got. Furthermore, I had the best teachers in the entire world; funny, smart, kind, warm-hearted, and interactive. I'm honored for being part of the Teach English Now Family. I can't wait to start inspiring others the way I was during this whole year! Best Luck fellows.

What a brilliant course this is!! My heartfelt thanks to the entire ASU team for their wonderful teaching, superb videos and the invaluable sharings in each of the lessons. I have learnt so much from these courses. Though I have had quite a lot of experience teaching English, I had sooo much to gain from the 8 courses that are part of Capstone 1 and 2. The assignments were really challenging, meant to make a learner think and bring out their best potential. One more time, a huge thank you for ASU and Coursera for such great purposeful learning!!

if it wasn't for this course, my teaching abilities would have remained in the dark ages. I feel all teachers, English language teachers, should take this certification. The technology aspect of this course brings teachers up to date and aligns teaching with the current demands and needs. This course provided me with a fountain of teaching ideas and added to my professionalism and effectiveness, teaching ability and credibility. Thank you to all the professors, amazing teaching abilities!

Thank you so much for this opportunity and for the classes. They were fun and very informative. I was able to refresh on things i haven't really thought about since my time in school as well as new information. This program helped to make me more comfortable in both my abilities to write an amazingly effective lesson plan as well as a stronger teacher in terms of helping others learn a new language skill. I am so proud and I have the wonderful staff at ASU to thank for that!

It has been 2 years since I passed my last assignment, but I still remember a lot from the lessons I learned here. It was a very inspirational journey that I would like to take again. That is why I keep reviewing the assignments of other learners as a volunteer.

A lot of my lesson plans today are based on the philosophy of teaching and the lessons I learned here a few years ago. Cudos to the ASU team!!! They created a unique learning environment here!

I stand in awe about the innovative way in which this Capstone 2 course (and all the others) have been presented, the quality of materials, the ease of flow in using the learning platform!

Simply wonderful 21st-century style learning that will be very hard to match by anyone in the TESOL arena. Thanks to all my instructors, Dr Shane Dixon, Jessica Cinco, Dr Justin Sewell and colleagues who contributed.

Fare thee well, "Language is Cake" compatriots!
