Kyungsung University Operates 'FUN FUN Senior English Program'

Students at Kyungsung University created and conducted easy and fun English learning materials and classes for the elderly.

The Kyungsung University team ‘Hakyeobulgeup’ operated the ‘FUN FUN Senior English Program’ at Yeonje-gu Senior Welfare Center from April 26 to May 31.

The Hakyeobulgeup team is composed under the 2023 first semester I-Brand Passion+Semester system, run by Kyungsung University’s Career and Psychological Counseling Center. They planned the project to provide the elderly with positive experiences and confidence through English learning.

Instead of rigid and boring classes, they created their own teaching materials and offered team activities to make the classes easy and interesting, conducting enjoyable English lessons where the elderly and university students participated together.

The Hakyeobulgeup team shared their thoughts, saying, “At first, it was a project for the elderly, but we were able to learn more,” and “We were always excited on the days we had classes interacting with the elderly, and we are very thankful for their active participation and support.”

Kyungsung University’s Career and Psychological Counseling Center provides career experiences and counseling to help students design and realize their unique ‘I-Brand’ during university life to find their career paths, and plans to expand various career programs.
