Introducing our Summer Program - (1) English Communication

When kids take over the classroom
‘I get more opportunities to speak in class.’

“It’s fun!” said Byeong-jun. “I have more opportunity to speak out in this small class. I usually don’t have that much of chance to speak English in regular class. There’s about 30 of us. But here I can ask all the questions I want. It’s cool to talk to my friends in English, too.”

“In a regular class, students sometimes hesitate to present their thoughts and answers in English because the class atmosphere is generally strict. But in this Saturday class, they are aggressive, in a good way, eager to jump in at any time because the class atmosphere encourages students not to be afraid of making mistakes.”

“There’s no special reason that we’re here,” Jin-yeong said. “It’s just because learning English is fun!”

This is exactly what we are going to do in English Communication in our summer program, run by trained native teachers. Let kids take over the classroom. Let them talk. Let them talk about the people they like, games they play, toys they love.

The role of teacher metamorphoses from a person who lectures into a facilitator and a resource person. The teacher becomes the host of a discussion program, introducing a hot topic of common interest, involving children and drawing out their ideas. The teacher becomes a resource person, helping participants to get the word one is looking for, repeating the word to make the pronunication right.

Is the outcome of the discussion important? Perhaps. It must mean quite a lot to the participants. But our key objective is to make learning English fun.

Our objective is to build up confidence and the verbal skills in communicating in English.
