About the class
Through Korea Herald, the No.1 English newspaper in the Department of Pediatrics
Make a difference in your life faster than anyone else!
This class is a class where you can develop not only the ability to read English newspapers but also English speaking skills by learning English expressions in English newspapers using articles from Korea Herald, the No.1 English-language newspaper that celebrated its 70th anniversary this year. In particular, in this class, you can listen to the Korea Herald English-language newspaper article with accurate pronunciation through the article reading section by the announcer Sa-sam, who specializes in English. After developing basic English skills through this high quality Korean Herald English newspaper, I can make changes in my life faster and more richly than others by receiving and understanding broader and richer news in the original English text.
Use this class to develop the ability to read and understand English news and newspapers on your own without having to go through someone else's translation. If you can understand the original English text, not only can you get news from around the world faster than others, but you can also feel more vivid nuances than Korean translated articles. Also, even articles that have not been translated into Korean can be searched and understood directly through keywords, so you can learn more information than others.
Why do I need to read the original English article on my own? This is because we can create a direct and positive impact in our lives right away.
- Identify domestic and global trends faster than others! You can quickly grasp the situation in Korea as well as the world and develop a macro-perspective. Through this, you can predict future domestic and international situations and make plans for yourself and your household. (Example) News related to the war between Russia and Ukraine can be used to predict the impact on international and domestic affairs.
- Faster domestic and global economic news than others! The current state of the global economy, especially the trends of global companies, including US companies, can be identified faster and more accurately than others and used as a reference for decision-making. (Example) It is possible to identify news of Tesla's factory expansion more quickly than others and plan related foreign stock trading.
- Get rich information faster than others! You can access rich information faster and more quickly than others by searching and finding keywords directly, even for articles or information that have not been translated into Korean. Information that cannot be found on Korean portal sites is not information that is missing! On overseas portals, there are endless news and stories about the world that you haven't been able to access before.
With so many advantages, there's no reason to hesitate about this class, right? In particular, you can develop not only the basic skills of reading English newspapers, but also English speaking skills using expressions written in English newspapers through this class with children who are announcers who specialize in English and have native English skills.
