Each tutoring session is conversation-based, and students are free to choose between newspaper articles, magazines, movie scripts and textbooks from lectures to help them with their studies. Those wishing to study in a more in-depth way can apply for free additional textbooks that are preselected by the IICE. Both Korean and foreign students in the same group have to write a weekly report after each tutoring session. They are required to write down the details of what they studied with a picture of both of them in a study group.

On Mar. 14, tutors and tutees had their first orientation to get detailed information about the program. Students could find out with whom they were paired and which subjects they were assigned to tutor. Korean students were given the chance to be reassigned to a different foreign tutor if they wish to learn a different language other than the one given to them. For Ryu Je-cheon (Dept. of Transportation Engineering, ’08), this is his second time participating in this program, and he thinks it is a great way to get to know foreign friends and learn about their culture and language.
