As exemplified by CHUNGDAHM's innovative programs and comprehensive content, it is not an exaggeration to say that CHUNGDAHM's success as an educational services company lies in its Research & Development Center. Composed of an array of international experts in various fields, the R&D Center is committed to the advancement of English language education and the proliferation of EFL/ESL (English as a Foreign/Second Language) throughout East Asia. CHUNGDAHM is dedicated to the creation of an effective English learning environment with the aim that it will emerge as an essential constituent in the global community. This mission has successfully led CHUNGDAHM and its R&D Center to meet the present, and prepare for the future demands of the educational market.

The main responsibilities of the R&D center can be cate-gorized into three parts: research, project design & planning, and product development. The R&D Center conducts world-class research on various disciplines and topics such as second-language acquisition theories, teaching and learning methodologies, linguistics, educational psychology and ESL assessment. The aim is to apply this research to designing, planning, and developing specific products for the educational market. As such, the R&D Center requires synergy between theory & practice, as well as on-site knowledge that highlights top-quality products and content.

The collaboration between CHUNGDAHM's R&D department and prestigious international publishing houses has resulted in a vehicle for English language acquisition which serves as the backbone of CHUNGDAHM's unique programs and curriculum. Following recent advancements in technology, the R&D department leveraged the internet as an essential tool to assist students in broadening their understanding of the English language. For example, the R&D department implemented after-class projects to be completed at home on the internet which produced impressive results in helping students improve their English language skills. What began as an after-class project, became the birth of CHUNGDAHM's Blended Learning Programs; a mixture of classroom learning, online learning and mobile learning to satisfy the needs of externalization, internalization, and specialization.

CHUNGDAHM is always open to consider candidates for its R&D Center. For those individuals with expertise and experience in language acquisition research, product design & planning, development of ESL content or work experience in English education, the R&D Center provides the opportunity to contribute knowledge and perspective to the advancement of education.
