[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Won-oh) ‘Seongdong Global Experience Center’ is attracting attention by operating various online classes such as ‘real-time interactive video classes’ with native speakers as the closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been prolonged.

Seongdong-gu started with the opening of the nation’s first dormitory-type English homestay ‘Seongdong Global English House’ in 2013, and consecutively operated ‘Geumho Global Experience Center’ and ‘Seongsu Global Experience Center,’ completing the ‘Seongdong Global Experience Center,’ a program center for nurturing global talents.

This online video class is conducted as a group real-time interactive class with native speakers using a video call program, not by playing recorded videos, gaining students’ favorable responses through free free-talking and diverse programs.

The first to start classes was the ‘Geumho Global Experience Center.’ Since the 14th, it has been offering five free sessions every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM for 4th to 6th graders in local elementary schools. Divided into beginner and intermediate classes, students freely discuss specific topics with native speakers. The beginner class continuously posts vocabulary lists on the website after class to help students study independently, while intermediate students actively communicate their opinions online.

The ‘Seongdong Global English House,’ operated as a homestay, runs a short-term program called ‘On-line Daytrip’ from the 20th to the 24th, twice daily for 30 minutes each session due to COVID-19. Five 5th and 6th grade elementary students in the area learn practical English phrases used in various places such as movie theaters, parks, restaurants, and theme parks with native teachers and share opinions on cultural differences between the U.S. and Korea.

The ‘Seongsu Global Experience Center’ also operates an online program for Family Month starting May 4. Various fun and easy-to-follow courses such as pronunciation practice, cooking, and DIY are posted on the website by day. The center continuously strengthens bonds with students through interactive communication by providing feedback on students’ replies or photos of their works.

Those who wish to participate or are interested in various online programs in May and Children’s Day events can apply from the end of April on the Seongdong Global Experience Center website (http://sd.global.modoo.at).

Jeong Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “In the midst of confusion among schools and students due to online school openings, it is expected that the native speaker instructors at Seongdong Global Experience Center providing interactive online classes will be a great help to students,” adding, “We will make efforts in various ways, including expanding infrastructure and providing diverse content, so that local students can grow into global talents.”
