The community named 'In-depth Study WED through English' is for not only practicing English but also seeing through social issues by sharing ideas and opinions with many people.

Therefore, the main purpose of this study is not just speaking in English itself but learning and thinking through English.

We believe that English is nothing but a tool to expand our horizons. 

Please knock the door if you also consider English as a tool as we do.

Come build up knowledge by using English.

In-Depth Study (Wed) 

Session 1 (19:15~19:50) – Latest article from major English press and media

We'll choose the latest articles from the major NEWS providers as The Economist, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Finance Times, BBC and so on. Each member takes turns reading and translating one paragraph to see if we fully understand the context. This session is the only one out of the four sessions that allows us to speak in Korean during translation.

Session 2 (19:50~20:25) - Discussion or Debate on the Session 1 topic

We'll have a talk and share the ideas or opinions on the topic.

We may break into several small groups to have an in-depth discussion on the topic or a debate when there is a divisive issue. Either way will help us practice thinking logically and speaking clearly. 

Break Time (20:25~20:30)

Session 3 (20:30~21:10) - 5 minutes speech/Presentation 

We will mix and break the small groups again. Each member will have a 5 minutes speech or presentation in front of the other members. Delivering a formal speech is believed to be one of the best ways to practice English. So, we make it mandatory for every member. Any topic is alright as long as your speech or presentation has a message or useful information.

Session 4 (21:15~22:00) – Video Clip watch & study (tone & Manner) & Debate (Pros/Cons)

We'll choose one Video clip of the speeches or the presentations from MOOC, Youtube, Corsera TED and etc. We’ll watch the video clip together and pick up the impressive expressions and the tone and manner in speech or presentation using transcript. Then, we will break the member into two groups for Pros/Cons debating.

*Everyone should bring one question each to the article and the video clip

+ One rule for the study + 

Speak only in English until you leave the study place, even during the break time.
