English Immersion Education
What is immersion education?
Immersion education is an innovative bilingual approach that fosters global competency, preparing individuals for success in a globalized world.
To develop global competencies in the era of globalization, Young Hoon introduced Korea's first immersion education program in 1995. Originating in Canada in 1963, immersion education is a highly effective form of bilingual education supported by extensive academic research. Unlike traditional language classes, this method uses a foreign language as the medium for teaching various subjects, enabling students to naturally acquire the language while mastering the curriculum content.
The Purpose and Educational Effectiveness of Immersion EducationYoung Hoon aims to foster "Koreans with Identity," distinguishing itself from foreign schools in the country. The objective is to nurture competent bilingual individuals with a global perspective by teaching the national curriculum and sentiment while naturally acquiring a foreign language. Immersion education allows students to contemplate one concept in two languages, leading to enhanced intellectual growth and cognitive abilities. By interacting with native speakers, students can develop a flexible mindset and a more nuanced understanding of different countries and the world.
Learning English immersed in an English-speaking culture.
Instead of focusing on rote memorization, test-taking, repetition, and rigid level divisions, our approach to English education prioritizes creating an enjoyable classroom experience. Through our program, students immerse themselves in both the language and the English-speaking culture, facilitating natural language acquisition.
English education that prioritizes fostering interest and engagement
In addition to traditional standardized English education, we offer diverse lessons designed to stimulate students' interest and active participation in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. This approach facilitates natural acquisition of the English language.
Diverse and interactive teaching methods
Utilizing interactive teaching methods that prioritize student-centered, teacher-guided learning, we conduct lessons incorporating Smartboards, Chromebooks, tablets, and a diverse range of self-developed teaching materials and resources.
