The English immersion villages represent the latest move forward in English education in Korea. The Gyeonggi English Culture Foundation (www.english-village.or.kr), a non-profit organization sponsored by Gyeonggi Government ( www.gg.go.kr/kg21 ), was founded to create a practical English educational environment for the citizens of the province. In these villages, students will have an opportunity to experience English and foreign culture with native-like English speakers.
Ansan, the city of the first village, is located near the west coast so that you can live in the refreshing atmosphere. Also, it's about an hour and twenty minutes to Seoul. Therefore, you can enjoy both beautiful countryside and modern city life at the same time. Currently, we are looking for 10 highly qualified Canadian teachers who would like to share our mission together.
