English Speaking Only study!
We do this study on every Thursday at 6:45pm & on every Saturday at 6pm, and the study lasts no longer than 3 hours.
This study is organized and done in Sinchon(신촌)area.
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, The 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 have a short individual presentation time so that you can have opportunities to practice making a speech in front of a few audience as well as listen to other people’s presentation content and skills.
In this study, there is a very strict rule that WE TALK IN ENGLISH ONLY the time even out of the cafe when we hang out together for drinking or eating. We value this culture much so new comers will be required to follow this rule as well.
Should it be specified of the least requirements of joining this study, those could be certain scores in English tests like TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS or your foreign experience. 920 in TOEIC, 105 in TOEFL, 7.5 in IELTS may suffice for the basic standard. We have the standards because articles are sometimes hard to understand.
A group of staff(leaders) does(do) manage this group together, and most of them are highly qualified as well. Native speakers or foreigners can also join since this study is not only to keep up our fluency but also to have profound knowledge and discussion.
And there are already a lot of very fluent knowledgeable members (workers in foreign companies, students from abroad, foreigners). Thus, you will be able to socialize with a lot of sociable and great people in this study. But we divide into small number of groups during our sessions, so you don’t worry about your chance to speak out - there are plenty. And this study could be better than the one in Gangnam.
We will appreciate your time being with us and promise that the study will be managed efficiently and joyfully. Of course this study is not for profit and each will pay only 5,000 won for using the rooms and place.
Rather than having may inquiries, we just recommend you to come to the study and try it out. 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.
