Teaching in Jeju through Experiential Programs

Teaching in Jeju can be a very enriching experience for those interested in the emerging ESL industry there. The Jeju International Education Center announced this month that it had successfully operated an experiential learning program with a native English teacher in 2022 for 60 fifth-grade students of Jangjeon Elementary School.

The Shinjeju Foreign Culture Learning Center operates experiential learning using real experience environment facilities and experiential learning in which native English teachers in Korea directly visit the school.

Experiential learning at school not only introduces students to foreign cultures through the familiar theme of ‘Superhero’, but also provides opportunities to access and utilize various contents in English through games and pencil case making activities related to the topic.

At the Shinjeju Foreign Culture Learning Center, this year, the ‘experiential learning program with native English teachers’ will be held 31 times for as many as 2,000 students in 6 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, including Jangjeon Elementary School.

Jeju International Education Center also operates in conjunction with Shinjeju Foreign Culture Learning Center for a middle and high school English club support group program that is conducted in 14 sessions each in the first and second half of the year. It involves a native English teacher visiting the schools in person, taking into consideration the level and interest of the students, and supporting club activities with various themes.
