저는 도미니칸 대학교 방학 프로그램 아메리칸 익스플로러(AEP)과정을 들었습니다. 시카고에 친척이 있어서 친척집에 방학동안 놀러갈 예정이었는데 부모님이 이왕 가는거 영어공부를 하고왔으면 좋겠다고 하셔서 시카고에 있는 랭귀지스쿨이나 대학에서 주최하는 단기과정들을 알아보다가 도미니칸 대학교의 AEP과정을 듣게되었어요. AEP는 미국에서 방학을 보내게 되는 외국인 학생들이 영어공부를 할 수 있도록 만든 프로그램이기 때문에 다른 어학연수 과정들보다 힘들거나 빡센 과정은 아니에요. 월요일부터 금요일까지 오전에 강의를 3개씩 듣는건데 여행이 목적이었던 저에게는 오전에는 영어공부, 오후에는 여행 두가지다 할 수 있게 되어서 좋았어요. 지루한 문법보다는 단어나 말하기 위주 수업이기 때문에 재밌었고, 가장 좋았던 점은 그곳에서 만난 외국인 친구들을 알게되었다는 점이에요. 저처럼 시카고에 여행왔다가 영어수업을 들으러 온 일본인 친구들이나 유럽에서 온 친구들도 있었고, 덕분에 친해져서 같이 놀기도하고 재미있게 보낼 수 있었어요. 그리고 방학 단기 과정이긴 하지만 3개월동안 꾸준히 수업도 듣고 말도 하다보니 생각했던 것보다 영어도 굉장히 많이 늘었어요. 선생님들도 굉장히 친절하시고 수업도 체계적이에요. 아 그리고 도미니칸 대학교는 나홀로집에 촬영장이기도 해서 학교도 정말 크고 멋있어요. 시카고로 어학연수 가시는분들 참고되셨으면 좋겠네요.
