Dongshin University Foreign Language Special Program 'Dongshin Class' Receives Positive Response

170 New Students Apply and Register... Level-Based Classes Conducted

Scholarship Benefits Including Overseas Language Training and Global Elite Programs

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Amid the full postponement of face-to-face classes at universities due to the impact of COVID-19, Dongshin University's special foreign language course, ‘Dongshin Class,’ is receiving great responses from freshmen.

According to Dongshin University (President Choi Il) on the 25th, the International Education Institute's language program ‘Dongshin Class,’ designed to help freshmen obtain official language test scores and improve practical English skills, has been underway since the 16th.

So far, 170 freshmen have applied and registered to participate in the program.

After online evaluations and learning consultations, participants are divided into two classes based on their English proficiency and attend level-specific customized lectures by a famous TOEIC instructor in real-time via Band Live broadcasts.

Originally, the program was scheduled to be conducted as face-to-face classes starting from the 2nd, but due to the COVID-19 impact, the university's semester opening was postponed and the non-face-to-face class period extended, so it has been replaced by online remote classes until the 3rd of next month.

During this period, attendance is confirmed by answering questions related to the day's lecture after the online class, and recorded broadcasts uploaded on Tuesdays and Thursdays allow for review.

Meng Jiwan (19, female), a student majoring in Convergence Information Security at the College of Energy Convergence participating in the program, said, “Although it is an online class, I feel like a university freshman,” and added, “I am gaining confidence in English through the easy-to-understand lectures by the TOEIC instructor.”

The full-scale face-to-face classes will be held in classrooms on campus starting from the 6th of next month, when all face-to-face classes at Dongshin University begin.

The ‘Dongshin Class’ program is a one-year course held three times a day from Monday to Thursday, with a special grammar lecture on Fridays.

Participants can check their English skills monthly through mock tests and receive one-on-one individual guidance and performance analysis mentoring from instructors regarding the class content.

During vacations, intensive courses such as TOEIC intensive classes, speaking test preparation classes, and online lectures are offered, and all students participating in the program can use content from a famous online education brand for free.

A score guarantee system has been introduced, allowing students who do not achieve a TOEIC score of 600 to retake the course for free.

There are also abundant scholarships and overseas language training benefits. If students attend only two days out of four days a week, they are recognized as having 100% attendance and can receive scholarships per semester.

At the end of the year, students who complete the program diligently and with excellent grades are selected to receive scholarships for overseas language training and global elite scholarships.

Oh Seongrok, Director of the International Education Institute at Dongshin University, said, “Not only will students improve their language skills and internationalization capabilities, but they will also have priority opportunities to participate in overseas language training and exchange student programs,” adding, “We will increase students’ attendance rates and help improve their English skills through various events such as Word King and Review King.”
