English Speaking Only Study (2) ! ^^
This study is
English Speaking Only Study 2 originated from a study in Sinchon (I am the same
founder, responding to people’s request of location matter)
The same study in Sinchon
has grown very significantly, so I wanted to direct some of the members to
Gangnam study as well as accept new comers in this location.
We do this study
on every Tuesday at 7 pm and on
every Sunday at 4 pm in Gangnam, and
the study lasts about 2 and a half hours.
What we do in the
study is reading the latest articles followed by discussion and debate
regarding the topics.
The articles are
chosen and extracted from Bloomberg, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, Economist,
Korea Herald, Joongang Daily, and so forth.
The topics are
also very diverse such as Politics, Economics, Health, Technology, Life Style,
Business Tips.
In addition,
we listen to Ted talk and follow up on the idea together further.
In this
study, there is a very strict rule
that we talk in English all the time
even out of the cafe when we hang out together for drinking or eating. I and we
value this culture much so new comers will be required to follow this rule as
well for sure.
Should it be
specified of the least requirements of joining this study, those could be
certain scores in English tests like TOEIC, TOEFL, IETLS or your foreign
experience. 920 in TOEIC, 105 in TOEFL, 7 in IELTS may suffice the basic
standard. I am not trying to be condescending but articles are not easy to
understand. Sub-leaders and I have a perfect score in TOEIC, but we still find
it difficult to grasp the content at times.
Native speakers or
foreigners can also join here since this study is not only to keep up our
fluency but also to have profound knowledge and discussion (I am also nearly
bilingual). But I am not asking perfect English fluency or proficiency from
all the applicants as I myself don’t have it either.
I was president in
Yonsei university before my graduation and managed many study groups so far.
I’d appreciate your time being with us and give my words that the study will be
managed very efficiently and joyfully.
Of course this
study is not for profit and each will pay about 4,000 won for using the rooms
and place.
Rather than having
inquiries, I just recommend you to come and try the study. You don’t need to
prepare anything when you come to the study, just yourself. And you can choose
the day meaning it is not mandatory to join both days.
