Martha  has overtaken Claudia  to become the best English speaker in New York City's Laguardia Community College. This is according to the teacher Kevin, who compiles his annual TOP 10 ranking of the school's most fluent speakers. Martha's pronunciation is estimated to be correct 90% of the time. Claudia had occupied the top spot for the previous four Saturdays. Martha's new ranking consolidates her position as the top-learning student in the English Language Center. Her improvement is due to her everyday grammar practice, watching TV in English, and reading and listening to English on-line. She entered the college a month ago and has become one of the best English speakers in the class.

Kevin teaches courses across the college, giving instruction on everything from reading to conversation. He calculates students progress by analyzing several factors, including the development of vocabulary, accuracy of pronunciation and prospects for future growth. Martha' s English ability has grown remarkably in the past month with a series of hugely successful homework assignments and intensive participation in class discussions. Her English  proficiency has increased  since the class began in April, 2012. Kevin emphasized that Martha's success was due to her dedication and maturity as a person. She uses her time in class intelligently and is active, like the rest of this remarkable group of students. Kevin said Martha had succeeded in becoming a top learner, making her English more effective by increasing her confidence, her skill and courage to communicate in any situation.
