I secured a full scholarship to this university through a competitive motivational letter contest. My strong writing and clear academic goals impressed the selection committee. After excelling in the initial application and interview stages, which assessed English proficiency and future aspirations, I emerged as the winner. This scholarship covers my studies at the ELTEM Department at Central Asian University.
ELT Innovators’ Challenge was the first ever contest held by Central Asian University. This was a prerequisite to ELT Innovators’ Challenge National Scale. My team and I participated in this challenge consisting of several stages: lesson planning, lesson delivery in front of judges, as well as problem solving. My team took the leading position in almost all the stages and emerged as winners. So, we are now preparing for the National level contest, where teams from other universities will rival.
On April 8th, 2024, I took the IELTS exam and achieved an overall band score of 7.5. My sub-scores were as follows: 7.0 in Listening, 8.0 in Reading, 6.5 in Writing, and 7.5 in Speaking.
