What are the Language Learners Saying?
· “CESP is a program that gives you self-confidence to converse in English. My language partner is knowledgeable in so many things. I have had an opportunity to learn more about culture over there (Khairul – Kedah).
· “The best thing (about CESP) is that I can communicate directly with my language helper (Pam - Texas) who cannot speak Malay. This trains us and no matter what it takes we will be forced to use English…and I also get to meet a new friend (Ro’azeah – Penang).”
· “CESP is a good platform that can help me to build confidence for when I speak with someone I have never met before. The best thing is that there are a lot of topics that have been provided by CESP which makes the program more interesting (Hakim – KL).”
What are the Language Helpers Saying?
· “CESP gives me a chance to help people, get to know them and share our lives as we have an opportunity to talk about important issues together (Paul – Oklahoma).”
· “CESP is a wonderful opportunity to share with one another about our lives, our cultures and our values as we work on English together. I have also been blessed by getting to know my language learner and look forward to our time together each week…making the world a little smaller and my world much larger (Pam – Texas)!”
· "The most rewarding thing is not simply that I am helping my language partner with his English but developing a relationship with a new friend (Eric – California)."
