English Teachers in Korea visit Gyeonggi Schools

English teachers in Korea are being recruited and dispatched by the Gyeonggi Language Education and Training Institute who will operate a ‘School Visitation’ program in which native-speaking instructors support classes in elementary, middle, and high schools in the province from this April.

The Language Education and Training Institute prepared a school visitation program with native English teachers in Korea to improve students’ English communication skills and teachers’ ability to develop curriculum by providing classes for two weeks at schools without native speakers.

11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 5 high schools are participating in this program, of which 12 are online, and 8 schools in Pyeongtaek, Hwaseong, and Osan are online and face-to-face.

According to the Language Education and Training Institute, the contents of this program include reading English based on English and American novels, situational conversations while traveling, learning international manners, and conducting speaking classes.

English teachers fully discuss and cooperate with the teacher in charge of the supporting school on the curriculum, student situations, and role of each teacher to support communication and learning-centered classroom implementation.

The Language Education and Training Institute is also planning to recruit students who wish to partake in next semester’s school visitation program in July.

Choi Hyun-joo, director of the Gyeonggi Language Education and Training Institute, said, “Students will naturally understand English-speaking cultures and engage with each other while taking classes with native-speaking instructors.” We will continue to work hard to support educational activities.”
