English-language instructors’ song of welcome: 'We will, we will teach you...'

A SONG FOR YOU: ELI instructors Laura Bozanich and Tony Carnerie sang their greeting.

UC San Diego Extension’s English Language Institute (ELI) welcomed more than 600 international students this week for its Fall ’14 academic programs.

On Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014, several hundred students were officially greeted by staff and instructors in the ELI courtyard.

After director Roxanne Nuhaily delivered her opening remarks, instructors Laura Bozanich and Tony Carnerie led their colleagues with a rousing rendition of Queen’s classic rock anthem, “We Will Rock You.”

To the students’ delight, the lyrics were changed slightly to be: “We Will, We Will Teach You … (pause) English!”

ELI classes will continue over the next ten weeks.
