What BMCC-CLIP teachers say

Dimitri Stroumbos
"Teaching in CLIP is a stimulating and rewarding experience. My students come from various parts of the world and bring to the classroom the richness of their cultures, sharing their sensibilities and learning from each other and enriching me in the process as well. As I usually teach lower level classes, it is especially gratifying to see all the progress students make in their English, in speaking and writing, as well as in their study skills in general. Teaching them is a learning experience for me - no two classes are the same. And I'm grateful to them."

Rivka Little
"CLIP is invaluable because students learn more that just basic language skills - they become critical and analytical thinkers in English. Because CLIP is theme-based, students explore U.S. government, global politics, classic and modern literature, theater arts, creative writing and other subjects that they will inevitably face in mainstream college classes. Students emerge from CLIP with a set of American references that makes them able to compete with U.S. - born students. In my six years at CLIP, I have seen students blossom into academic butterflies, moving on to receive bachelors degrees and enroll in masters programs. It makes my job extremely fulfilling."


What teachers in BMCC Language Immersion for International Students say:

Julia Ebert
"Working with international students is both rewarding and exciting. I enjoy the process of exploring United States history and current events with them, while also learning about their various cultures and countries of origin."
