Maple Bear Korea, a global English education company, announced that it successfully held the 2019 English Debate Competition for high school students on Saturday, October 12th.

The Maple Bear Debate Contest, which is the second one of its kind to be held this year, was conducted in a format where participating students went through 3 rounds and competed against each other’s themes in pros and cons. In addition, after the students on each team presented their arguments, the judges gave feedback to all students, encouraging them to debate with confidence.

The Maple Bear Debate Contest provides students with an opportunity to train their logical thinking by comparing the pros and cons of debate topics while preparing for the contest. It is a contest where students ascend above and beyond the usual curriculum for English teaching in Korea and instead can use the discussion and presentation skills they have learned so far, as well as the skills to research data to form in-depth arguments about the topic.

Through these processes, the students exhibited more growth and development, and showed a heated competition atmosphere in which they listened to the other side’s remarks and presented their arguments with confidence. Maple Bear Korea, who organized this contest, said that it hopes that by experiencing the debate, students will grow interested in what is happening around the world, and develop the ability to communicate and collaborate with others.

Maple Bear in Korea Rooted in Excellence

/0 Comments/in /by

Maple Bear in Korea is a Canadian children’s English education program that also operates in other countries around the world. Founded in 2007, the company in Korea directly operates Maple Bear’s Songpa branch, and Dongbo Airlines, which operates the domestic distributors of over 30 foreign airlines, is the parent company. Dongbo Airlines is a mid-sized company with companies such as Boram Air, World Bridge Air, Anam Air, and Dongbo Airport Service as affiliates.

The reason why Dongbo Airlines Chairman Lee In-jae introduced Maple Bear to Korea stems from his relationship with Korean Air, where he oversaw the English education of pilots before establishing Dongbo Airlines. He wanted to introduce Canada’s excellent English education system to Korea, which he had encountered while dealing with airlines around the world, such as Air Canada and Austrian Airlines.

Maple Bear, headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, is an educational institution for children that operates more than 260 campuses in 13 countries, including Singapore, the United States, Brazil, and UAE, as well as Canada. It is characterized by an immersive education that naturally facilitates the learning of mathematics, science, music, and art in English by introducing Canada’s public education rather than simply teaching English.

It goes without saying that Maple Bear’s Songpa branch, which has a strong parent company’s sponsorship and a unique philosophy on English education, is loved by the local community.

Thanks to the success of the Songpa branch, which celebrated its 10th anniversary, the number of domestic Maple Bear campuses has increased to 12, including Pyeongchon, Bundang Pangyo, Mapo, Daegu, Daejeon, and Busan.

Teaching English in Korea is being innovated through the introduction of Canadian public education concepts.

Maple Bear, an English education institution for preschool and elementary school students, has attained a certain amount of fame for learning English as naturally as their mother tongue without stress.

The curriculum, designed based on Canadian public education, was developed by experts who have been involved with Canadian public education for more than 30 years. In addition to curriculum development, they travel around the world to different Maple Bear locations to educate teachers and observe students, and are working to develop a more effective curriculum based on information obtained.

Instead of sitting at a desk to study, the whole class takes classes together and the teacher sometimes conducts classes in small groups, and various activities such as math, science, and art are prepared by the teacher for students in advance.

As such, Maple Bear helps teachers and students to discuss together, organize their thoughts and explore on their own and develops the power to collaborate with friends.

Another characteristic is integrated education. The Maple Bear class adopts themes that children of all ages will like, and based on that, various activities are conducted. Through this, children can directly experience and immerse themselves in the class independently and learn effectively.

Meanwhile, Maple Bear Global Schools is a global group with more than 200 campuses in 11 countries, including Brazil, Singapore, India, and China, as a specialized educational institution for elementary school children headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

By infusing Canada’s public education in this kind of format, it provides an immersive education that allows students to naturally acquire mathematics, science, music, and art in English.

Currently, Maple Bear has 13 locations throughout Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Daejeon, Daegu and Busan.

In particular, the Maple Bear Storytelling Contest was held like a festival rather than just a ranking decision. In addition, it became a place to inspire a sense of achievement in elementary school students by applying a special system in which all students who made it to the finals were given an award.

Also, in this competition, a gorgeous laser performance reminiscent of ‘Iron Man’ was held, adding to the fun while making the children feel as if they were at a festival.
