This language training will be conducted at two schools located in Tucson, Arizona, USA, with regular classes, and will provide opportunities for local students to experience American family culture through homestays and various cultural activities, fostering international awareness and language skills.

The Tucson language training program aims to develop global talents by improving foreign language skills, motivating English learning, and cultivating international thinking. Additionally, students participating in the training will take part in an exchange event in June when Tucson students visit Yeongyang-gun, continuing the ongoing exchange.

Governor O Do-chang said, “Through this training, I hope our students will experience new cultures beyond simply learning a language,” adding, “I hope this becomes a valuable journey that opens the path for them to discover their potential and grow into true global talents.”

The doubling of the middle school language training program is a campaign pledge of the 8th Yeongyang-gun governor and was expanded from 10 to 20 students through continuous consultations with the Tucson City Board of Education.
