Principal Oh-Chu Kwon said, “It is unfortunate that students cannot directly go to Andong English Village due to COVID-19 and develop their English communication skills through good facilities and programs, but students can develop their interest in English and learn it through various English experiential learning activities with native English teachers in Korea for three days.
