Students of ESL School at NYFA Create Mock Commercial

Students of The ESL School at NYFA took a break from grammar and ventured into the New York City subway to shoot a mock commercial.  Kristina Kazanjian, a first-year student in the ESL program from Kazakhstan said, “It was an interesting experience. I think it [commercial shoot] improved our knowledge of real-world conversations.”

The premise of the mock commercial was to show that T-Mobile had the best service when using your phone in an underground subway, an idea conceived by Yuka Hattori, a student from Japan who aspires to enroll in NYFA’s Broadcast Journalism program.

Rebekah Wilson, ESL School at NYFA instructor says, “Students showed their dedication to the arts and learning by collaborating on the commercial project.”
