In particular, this year, the number of preschool and elementary programs has been significantly increased. Out of the 33 classes, 15 will be taught directly by three native-speaking instructors from Canada and the Philippines. Through this, the program is designed to help students gain confidence in English and naturally experience global cultures.


Additionally, to accommodate office workers and students who find it difficult to participate on weekdays, the weekend program has been strengthened. A total of 17 classes, including 15 for preschoolers and elementary students and 2 for adults, will be offered intensively on Saturdays and Sundays. Various unique experiential programs have also been prepared to help participants acquire practical language skills such as English speaking and reading.


Citizens wishing to participate can apply through the Miryang City English Library website or by visiting the library in person until March 9. Especially from this year, to provide equal opportunities to more citizens, the selection method has been changed from first-come, first-served to a lottery system.



Seo Yeonju, Director of Future Education, said, "We will further vitalize the English library to create an environment where citizens can become familiar with English," adding, "We will continue to develop outstanding programs to provide high-quality educational opportunities."
