English Speaking Only Study ! ^^
We do this study on every Thursday at 6 45 pm
and 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
all 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, IETLS 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 and 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.
As for the gender ratio, given that there are more male leaders and topics
tend to be heavy, there are a bit more guys than girls.
Rather than having many 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.
Pls contact us with your introduction (in English only) – 1. Name 2.
