‘English Only Zone 영어’에 관한 연구

A study of "The English Only Zone Program"

&nbsp;&nbsp;It is getting more important that students in Korea develop the ability to make themselves understood in English instead of getting some theoretical background. So Gyeongsang National University ended up developing a unique program in 2005, the English Only Zone Program(EZ program), which can be applied for by freshmen students who are interested in learning English. The focus of the program is on lectures at the English Only Zone building by a native speaker. Students must also live at the English Dormitory. The English Only Zone, where all of the students must use only English, includes the English building and the English Dormitory. If a student violates the English only policy, he/she will be given 1 penalty point. It is subtracted from the total scores he/she will get at the end of the semester.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The Korean Ministry of Education &amp; Human Resources Development recognizes that the EZ Program is the most successful English program in Korea. A lot of universities have visited the EZ to learn how it operates. So our aim is to study the EZ program in respect of its operation, curriculum, teachers, and facilities to ensure that it continues to be a progressive program.
