Stress-free English learned through TV news!
Awaken your English senses with real-time English newspapers
Imagine your child saying during winter break, "Mom, I organized today's article like this!" or "I think my opinion is something like this!" on their own.
This class is a practical English current affairs special lecture where news reading --> issue understanding --> speaking and writing all flow naturally as one seamless process.
It is not simple reading comprehension, but a 4-skills integrated English class that develops vocabulary, background knowledge, critical thinking, and expression all at once.

Boost all 4 skills at once!
📖 Reading — Read news articles easily and summarize the key points
Students read age-appropriate current news articles and naturally build understanding of vocabulary, sentence structures, and real-world issues.
🎧 Listening — Train the ear through native-speaker news pronunciation and intonation
Students become familiar with authentic pronunciation and intonation through real news audio.
🗣 Speaking — Express personal opinions on issues in English
Not just short, broken answers—students learn to speak in English with clear reasons and supporting ideas.
🌍 Knowledge — Expand background knowledge in politics, the environment, technology, and more
Class Structure
30 minutes total / Live interactive class
1️⃣ Warm-up (5 min) – Today’s news quiz and background knowledge discussion
2️⃣ Reading the topic (10 min) – Read an English news article and learn key expressions
3️⃣ Discussion / Speaking (10 min) – Share ideas and opinions about the topic
4️⃣ Review & Wrap-up (5 min) – Key expressions and today’s news quiz
Here’s how the class works!
✔ Article Reading
Only carefully selected current global news articles that match the student’s level are used.
✔ Vocabulary Building
Students learn vocabulary in context, focusing not on test-only words, but on essential news and SAT vocabulary.
✔ Discussion
Students practice expressing not just what they think, but why they think so, using clear reasons and support.
✔ Writing
Students use newly learned expressions to write a short essay or create a one-line news summary, helping strengthen their overall expression skills.

Why should students read the news in English?
English-language sources offer an overwhelming amount of information, both in quantity and depth. That is why students need more than test-focused English—they need English that helps them access information, think logically, and use language with confidence.
What students can develop through reading English news
Information access skills
Logical thinking
Critical thinking
Practical language ability
Learning through English newspapers is one of the most effective ways for students to build real English skills—the ability to read, understand, and speak for themselves.
Who is this class recommended for?
Students who are interested in English newspapers but feel they are too difficult
Students who want to learn about the world in English
Students who want to improve their English by actively using the expressions they learn
Children already have a wide range of thoughts and perspectives. What they need is the right opportunity and environment to express those ideas in English.
We hope your child can grow not only in English skills, but also in critical thinking and self-expression.

Hello, I am Theresa. I laid the foundation for my teaching by obtaining my TESOL certification in British Columbia, and I am dedicated to the accurate delivery of both Korean and English, having also acquired a translation certificate. As an instructor with over 14 years of professional experience—currently working as a specialized online instructor for elementary and high school students as well as a corporate trainer for major domestic and international corporations—I conduct my classes using a variety of materials to help children feel less intimidated by the unfamiliar language of English. Especially for my children's generation, English requires more than just communication; it requires the power to present one's own opinions and persuade others. Therefore, I use diverse materials such as real-time English newspapers, original texts, and debates to help children develop an interest in English in a fun way, without feeling pressured. Among these methods, I believe that using actual English newspapers is the most effective. It instills in children the confidence of reading a real newspaper, enables them to present their opinions on the articles, and helps them develop the logical reasoning to support those views. Current affairs are not just for adults; children can certainly learn them in an enjoyable way as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message! Thank you! :)
