Sociology Professor
Daniel Haytin says:
"Dear Teresa, Thank you very much for your outstanding guest
lectures in my sociology classes. Mental illness and domestic
violence are sobering subjects; my students and I learned much from
you and are grateful and appreciative. I was especially impressed
with your creative presentation style, using scenes from Love Made
of Heart and role-playing, thus maximizing student-participation. I
hope that you would be so kind and lecture again." |

Mr. Victor Turks,
teacher of Advance Composition ESL at City College of San
Francisco, says:
"My students are reading Love Made of Heart. And coming from 'one
of their own,' it’s a book that they can enthusiastically relate
to. 'Is it true?' they ask. 'Yes, all the bad stuff happened,'
Teresa LeYung Ryan tells them. The students are all ears. How can
someone write so convincingly and movingly about everyday life? How
does one go about getting her ideas and feelings across in such
lucid and dramatic fashion? 'Why, this is just like our own lives,'
a student says during a class discussion of Ms. Ryan’s book.
"My students sense a kinship with Teresa and tell her so in
heartfelt welcoming letters written to her. 'Thanks for being my
role model,' one says. 'I thank you for coming to our class and
speaking to us,' another writes. 'What was the hardest thing about
learning English?' somebody wants to know. By offering them the
template of her beautifully written English, Ryan holds out hope to
classrooms of ESL students eager to acquire mother-tongue-like
proficiency with their speech and writing. I dare say we’ve come
full circle with Love Made of Heart. As a class, we are better off
for having read it, underscoring my personal teaching belief that
high-quality reading can lead to high-quality
writing." |
