Features

The Daegu Gyeongbuk English Village is a full-immersion, full-services program that offers rich English instruction for all ages.

A kindergarten exists for the youngest students that offers specialized programs to introduce English, while the focus for school-aged children and teenagers is a full-immersion environment. The campus offers 22 different "situation-locations" that are intended to act together as a "mini-city" where students can use English in real-life situations ranging from boarding a plane at an airport to depositing money at a bank to mailing a letter at a post office.  

There are 101 classrooms in total, distributed across the three main academic buildings--the Main Building, the Situational Building, and the Creativity Building--plus the dormitory building for students and teachers.  

In addition to the full-immersion experience there are intensive-instruction facilities geared for adolescents and adults that allow for English to be taught by subject, such as music, cooking, and art.
