/0 Comments/in /by

Programs facilitating English Teaching in Jeju continue to be rolled out throughout the province.

Jeju Foreign Language Learning Center recently announced that on April 27th, the 6th-grade students of Jeju Nam Elementary School had a real environment of experiential learning with a native speaker teacher in the 2022 school year.

The experiential learning consisted of participants’ prior education, cultural understanding education, and real model experiential learning.

In the cultural understanding education component, students had time to understand the cultural characteristics and historical facts of each country of focus, such as the United States, Canada, and South Africa. After that, the experience study room vividly reproduced environments such as airports, hospitals, currency exchange offices, department stores, restaurants, and grocery stores. Students had an opportunity to talk with native speakers using English expressions that can be used in real-world situations.

The students who participated in the experiential learning provided feedback like “I liked the experiential learning because it was real”, “The experiential learning with a native English teacher is so much fun and I want to come again”, “The experiential activity helped me learn English” and “I will continue to do this in the future.”

An official from the Jeju Foreign Language Learning Center said, “We plan to actively support this year’s real environment experiential learning to motivate students to learn English and increase their cultural sensitivity.”

An English teaching in Korea program operated by native English teachers is going to be implemented in Yeongcheon, located just east of Daegu in the southern end of South Korea.

Seobu-dong in Yeongcheon City recently signed an MOU with the Yeongcheon Family Center on April 26th to operate an English class for local children in a small meeting room inside the Administrative Welfare Center.

This agreement was promoted to provide learning opportunities to low-income children in the region by establishing a public-private partnership system based on the local community and to bridge the relative educational gap between students.

“We will continue to work hard so that more welfare benefits can be returned to the local residents through the constant interest and cooperation of the local public and private sector,” said Kang Dae-hwal, director of the Yeongcheon Family Center, who gladly accepted this business agreement.

The English teaching in Korea program, which is scheduled to be conducted through the agreement, will be conducted once a week by a native English teacher until December for the lower grades of elementary school.

Maple Bear in Korea

Maple Bear in Korea held English storytelling contest

/0 Comments/in /by

Maple Bear in Korea takes teaching English to an exciting new level through the introduction of various events like a recent storytelling contest held in Seoul.

It is said that the younger you are, the more sensitive you are to learning languages, and a greater effect can be obtained than when your primary language is fixed. That is why many Koreans prefer English kindergartens and early English education.

However, any kind of English exposure is not enough. Creating an environment where you can have more fun can stimulate your child’s English growth properly.

Accordingly, Maple Bear Global Schools, a company specializing in English education, held the ‘2015 Maple Bear Storytelling Contest’ for students of Maple Bear in Korea on the 20th and it became a big topic.

The Maple Bear Storytelling Contest gives Maple Bear students an opportunity to practice speaking English in a more exciting and fun way, while having the opportunity to share their stories with courage in public, thereby motivating them to learn more in the future. This was a competition designed to inspire.

This competition was held with great success at Yongsan Art Hall, and the participants consisted of a total of 30 students of Maple Bear in Korea, ranging from 6 years old to 5th graders in elementary school.

In particular, the Maple Bear Storytelling Contest was held like a festival rather than just a ranking decision. In addition, it became a place to inspire a sense of achievement in elementary school students by applying a special system in which all students who made it to the finals were given an award.

Also, in this competition, a gorgeous laser performance reminiscent of ‘Iron Man’ was held, adding to the fun while making the children feel as if they were at a festival.

Maple Bear in Korea is part of the parent company, Maple Bear Global Schools, which is a children’s education institution headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. It is a global group with more than 200 campuses in 11 countries, including Singapore, the United States, Brazil, and the UAE. By introducing Canada’s public education, it provides an immersive education that naturally conveys mathematics, science, music, and art in English.
