I’ve taken General English Course in ECA linguistic institution.General English course is a standard program for students who are willing tolearn English. The program deals with daily life English to official language,including grammar, listening, reading, and pronunciation. I really liked thatthe program includes learning daily life English, because it is extremelyuseful and isn’t very difficult either. At the beginning, students take a leveltest in order to be placed in the suitable classes for their levels. There aretotal 6 classes, consist of the beginner class to advanced class. I started offwith beginner class. I wanted to work my way up to the advanced level. The lecturesinclude listening, reading, writing and speaking. There were also time for readingthe real newspaper that is published in Australia and discussing the issuesstudents deal with. This had a positive effect on grammar too. In morningclasses, this is how the class is carried out, and afternoon classes cope with moredetailed studies. I was worried about my listening skills, but in afternoonclasses, I had one-to-one speaking lessons, or focused on listening study.After each section, students take replacement test, and since I improved in ashort-term, I moved up to next level quite fast.Also there were options for accommodation; dormitory insidethe school, homestay or dormitory outside of the school. I chose to stay in thedormitory that is outside of the school. It is because I wanted to live nearerto the city, where I can hang out! There are disadvantages of staying herebecause students have to share everything and have to cook by his or herself. However,I highly recommend living here because I had more chances to meet foreignersand to make friends. This will help you improve in English. Plus, the schooland the dormitory are near the city, meaning it is close to museums, shoppingmall and other restaurants around town. Location of school is also a paramountfactor in choosing which school to attend. I was satisfied with everythingabout ECA linguistic institution.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECA어학원 General English 코스를 듣고 왔습니다. General English코스는 일반영어 프로그램인데 어학연수를 하고자하는 학생들에게 가장 교과서적인 프로그램이라고 할 수 있어요. 일상생활이나 업무에서 쓰이는 회화 영어, 듣기, 발음, 독해 등 전반적인 영어를 배울수 있는 프로그램인데, 무엇보다 어렵고 힘든 영어가 아니라 정말 실생활에서 쓰는 영어를 배운다는 점이 가장 좋았어요. 처음에 레벨테스트를 보고 자신에게 맞는 클래스로 배치가되요. Beginner부터 Advanced까지 레벨이 6개정도로 나뉘어있는데 저는 처음에 Beginner 부터 시작했어요. 영어를 전혀 못하지는 않지만 6개월 동안 꾸준히 공부하면서 Advanced단계까지 올라가고싶어서요. 강의는 말하기,듣기,읽기,쓰기가 다 어우러져있어요. 정말 호주 현지의 신문이나 잡지를 직접 읽고, 토론하는 수업도 있었고, 문법도 계속해서 배우게 되요. 오전에는 이런식으로 영어수업위주로 진행이되고, 오후 수업은 저에게 부족한 부분을 더 공부할 수 있게 해주는 식이에요. 저는 듣기가 너무 약해서 걱정을 많이 했는데, 오후 수업에서는 1:1로 회화를 하거나, 리스닝만 집중해서 공부할 수 있는 수업을 들었어요. 한 단계가 끝날때마다 배치고사를 봐서 다음 레벨로 올라가거나 아니면 다시 같은 레벨을 듣는 식인데 영어가 단기간에 많이 늘어서 저는 금방 다음 레벨로 올라갔어요. 그리고 저는 학교기숙사나 학교에서 제공해주는 홈스테이도 있지만 외부기숙사에서 살았어요. 왜냐면 공부하는 시간 외에는 시티에서 놀려구요. 외부기숙사는 아무래도 직접 음식을 해먹어야하고 뭐든지 공동으로 사용해야한다는 점에서 불편한 점도 있지만, 외국생활이고, 외국인들하고 부딪치면서 영어도 더많이 사용하게되고 친구도 사귈 수 있기 때문에 저는 외부기숙사를 추천해요. 그리고 학교, 기숙사 모두 시티에 있어서 박물관도 가깝고 쇼핑몰도 가깝고 근처에 먹을데도 많았어요. 학교 위치도 중요한만큼 저는 ECA어학원에 굉장히 만족하고 돌아왔습니다.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECA語学学校のGeneral English コースを受けました。General Englishコースは一般英語プログラムです。語学留学に行きたがる学生には一番模範となるプログラムでありあす。日常生活や業務で使われる会話英語、聞き取り、発音、読解などの全般的な英語を学ぶプログラムでありますのに、難しい英語じゃなく実際に日常で使われる英語を学ぶからそれが一番よかったです。初めてレベルテストを受けて自分に合うクラスに配置されます。BeginnerからAdvancedまでレベルが６つで分けてありますが私はBeginnerのレベルから始まりました。英語がぜんぜん出来ないのではないですが６ヶ月一生懸命にしてAdvancedのレベルまで上がりたくてね。講義は聞き取り、書き取り、リーディング、スピーキング全部をゆっくり勉強します。オーストラリアの新聞や雑誌を読んで討論する授業もあったし、文法も学びました。午前にはこのような英語授業をしますが午後は自分に不足した部分について勉強できるようにしてくれました。私は聞き取りに弱くて困りましたが、午後の授業で１:１で聞き取りの授業を受けました。各レベルが終わると、またレベルテストを受けて、次のレベルに行ったり、また再受講することになりますが私はすぐ次のレベルへ上がりました。そして学校で提供してくれる学校内のドミーやホームステーもありますが私は学校の外にあるドミーでくらしました。なぜなら、勉強の以外の時間はシティーであそびたくてね。外部のドミーはどうやら自分ど料理も洗濯もするので大変な点もありましたが、外国での生活だし、外国人とつき合いたかったので私は外部ドミーがよかったです。そして学校やドミー全部シティーにあって博物館やショッピングモールも近いし、レストランも多かったです。学校の位置はすごく重要だと思いますが私はECA語学学校にすごい満足して戻りましたね。
