Can anyone look at this statement to correct any grammar mistakes? Statement of Purpose My purpose for applying the Doctoral program is to expand on my existing knowledge and to create additional opportunities for myself in the future. I believe that Doctoral program will prepare me for a successful and challenging career in the education area. I have been teaching in Taiwan for almost three years now. I have taught in high school, college, and cram school. After a complete thought, I finally decided to continue my teaching career in adult learning . In order to give students more knowledge and information, I believe that pursuing a higher degree is necessary. Also, through the research, I can use the research result to help students in learning. Since I am now teaching in the college, I can use my students as resources to do the research work. I strongly feel that Doctor of Education program at University of xxx is a highly structured program because it provides the right balance between theory and practice. Your program not only provides taught program which will gave me more knowledge in education area, but also provides me great environment for research. I believe your school is the best choice for my Doctoral degree. English has become one of the requirements for many positions in most companies. Therefore, teaching college students how to use English in work field is now very important task for college English teachers. I found personality has a great influence in their English learning. Therefore, according to their personality, to design a good learning program will help students in English learning. Good designed program not only can improve their English abilities, but also it can increase their interest in learning. I hope my background and qualifications are found suitable for admission to Doctor of Education program. |

I believe that "cram school" may have actually meant "grad school" instead. Perhaps from a spelling mistake, followed by a spell check. (I.E. crad to cram... or gram to cram.) |

cram school means a center which provides English or math tutoring service for students after school hours. |

Statement of Purpose I am applying to the Doctoral program to expand my existing knowledge and to create additional opportunities for myself in the future. I have been teaching in Taiwan for almost three years. I have taught in high school, college, and cram school. After much consideration, I decided to continue my teaching career in adult learning. I believe that a higher degree will make me a more effective educator. English has become a requirement for employment at many companies. Thus, teaching college students how to use English in their workplace is now a very important task. Also, I look forward to researching methods to assist students with their learning. I have found that a student?s personality has a great influence upon his or her learning. I look forward to researching educational methods that adapt to meet the needs of individual students. A well-designed program can improve their English skills by maintaining their interest in learning. My experiences as a college teacher will help to direct my research. Furthermore, I am attracted to your program?s structure. I feel that it provides the right balance between theory and practice. The University of xx Doctoral Program provides both a valuable teaching experience and an environment that fosters research. It is the best choice for my Doctoral degree. I believe that your Doctoral program will prepare me for a successful and challenging career in education. |

netnerd... Thanks for the 5 stars and kind comments. I just noticed a spelling error I missed: "Your program not only provides [a curriculum] which will gave me more knowledge in [the area of] education..." It should read: "Your program not only provides [a curriculum] which will give me more knowledge in [the area of] education..." So 'give' rather than 'gave'. sublime1-ga |
