Yeungjin University announced on the 27th that Daegu-Gyeongbuk English Village, its affiliated institution, has surpassed 500 cumulative participants as it gains popularity as a global English training destination for Japanese university students.
The English Village has recorded 554 cumulative Japanese university student participants, marking 10 years since they first began English immersion programs at the facility.
Following Kyushu Sangyo University's visit this week, a total of 98 students from eight Japanese universities including Ube University are scheduled to visit through next month.
Daegu-Gyeongbuk English Village offers practical conversation classes utilizing over 60 situational experience rooms including aircraft cabins, along with employment competency programs such as English resume writing aligned with global standards and interview training.
The "Global Buddy Program" featuring 18 students from Yeungjin University's AI Global IT Department and Hotel Aviation Tourism Department is also drawing attention.
Korean and Japanese students are naturally building exchanges by communicating in English and Japanese through joint classes and team activities.
"Interest in immersive English education has grown significantly in Japan recently," said Park Jae-hong, Director of Daegu-Gyeongbuk English Village. "Students are showing noticeable confidence improvements even in short periods. We will establish ourselves as a global English education hub for Asian youth."
