CHUNGDAHM Learning' service expansion and extension has provided new opportunities for instructors and teachers outside of the Chung Dahm institute business. The Company has experienced tremendous growth in online education, test preparation, life consulting, and new institute businesses. Many Chung Dahm institute instructors participate in projects in other facets of the Company to gain new experiences while contributing to the Company. Others enjoy smooth transitions from one facet of the Company to another depending on each instructor's goals, aspirations, and career track.

Now more than ever before, the Internet has brought our generation a degree of interaction, information and communication that was simply unimaginable not very long ago. In the wake of constant improvement, evolution and change, technology has created new opportunities across a broad spectrum of disciplines. This stands true especially in the field of education.

CHUNGDAHM's e-Learning Division was launched in 2003, offering students an interactive means to practice and improve their fundamental writing and grammar skills. Initially, there were only 380 enrolled students along with a support staff of 3 full-time e-Tutors and 3 administrative staffers. However, the online program has been quickly received with immense enthusiasm as it provides access for students to continue a quality learning process outside of CHUNGDAHM's classrooms, anytime, anywhere. Currently, CHUNGDAHM's online division is supported by a staff of over 150 employees providing services ranging from basic-level story writing to advanced "Master-level" academic paper writing.

Following up on the overwhelming response to the e-Learning venture, CHUNGDAHM began to lay the foundation for a complete and independent curriculum that mirrors its current comprehensive offline programs. As a result, certain CHUNGDAHM academic curriculums have been wholly integrated with online education programs to create blended programs.

As the department expands, so do the suite of services the e-Learning team provides. With the goal of providing access to the curriculum anytime, anywhere, the e-Learning department has recently been renamed the "CHUNGDAHM u-Learning Business Division," the 'u' meaning "ubiquitous," providing students with the ability to practice their fundamental English skills through various modes of learning. As a result, to compensate for the growing number of workers within the division, the u-Learning Assessment team has recently relocated to its own facilities in Seoul, which serves as the Headquarters and principal support group for the assessment of all of CHUNGDAHM's U-Learning business operations.

CHUNGDAHM's patented writing engine, WM (www.ecdi.co.kr) provides students with the ability to actively learn the writing process while receiving immediate feedback, corrections and comments from e-Tutors. Through one-on-one online interaction (involving tutor-guided review and self-revision methods) WM aims to foster critical thinking and structured writing skills necessary for the successful composition of academic essays.


In order to satisfy the demand for lower-level learners, beginner students are able to receive feedback and corrections in Korean through our Korean EC Assessment Team. Through tasks such as Prediction Writing and Project-based story writing, students are able to learn the basic foundation and fundamentals of academic writing.

WM has joined CHUNGDAHM's online iBT TOEFL Assessment site (www.ibtprep.co.kr) where subscribers are able to receive full assessment and feedback of iBT simulations. Since its international release in June 2006, iBT (Internet Based TOEFL) has become the international standard for English proficiency. Ever since its introduction into the ESL market, it has shifted the paradigm of English language acquisition methodologies.


All e-Tutors and assessment specialists are fully trained by CHUNGDAHM's experienced trainers. Further, all e-Tutors are provided with continuous support and training through the management and support system.
In the upcoming months, the U-learning department will launch extensions to its services with additional alternatives to accommodate the dynamics of the ESL market. Along with CHUNGDAHM's pre-existing off-line curriculum, various forms of learning programs have been created to help students focus on logical analysis and to help them gain expressive power. CHUNGDAHM plans further expansion in this business area with M-Learning (mobile learning) and phone English services.

In addition to our standard classroom options and online
programs, CHUNGDAHM offers several additional programs to assist
students in their educational goals.
CHUNGDAHM Prep is a specialized branch of CHUNGDAHM that consists of
unique programs to help prepare students for major exams.
Primarily focused on preparing students for the TOEFL
exam, CHUNGDAHM Prep offers focused and concentrated courses to
guarantee that students?test scores reflect their English and
critical thinking abilities.

Launched in September 2007, CHUNGDAHM April Institute targets
elementary school learners to develop communicative
competence based on intrinsic motivation and immersion.
Leveraging education-based technology tools such as
automated speech recognition and e-learning systems,
students can improve their expressive skills and logical
thinking abilities via experiential learning. To find out more
