안녕하세요. 오랜만에 인사드려요.
선생님 덕분에 무사히24년 7월 여름방학동안의 어학연수 마쳤습니다. 준비하면서 어려운 부분이 많았는데 도와주셔서 진심으로 감사했습니다! 후기 메일로 남기겠습니다. 작성이 늦어서 죄송합니다..!
1. 수업
수업은 보통 9:30분에서 15;30까지이고 선생님은 오전과 오후 각각 다른 분이 맡아주십니다. 매주 다른 주제로 수업이 진행되고 주제에 대한 의견을 영어로 나누는 스피킹 수업이 주를 이룹니다. 어학당 수업이다보니 스피킹 외에도 학술적 글쓰기, 패러프레이징을 배우기도 하고 가장 기억에 남는 건 책 읽고 토론하는 수업인데 이 수업을 통해 영어가 많이 향상된 것 같아요. 암기가 아닌 익숙해질 때까지 말하면서 배운 문법이나, 인토네이션 수업도 기억에 남네요.
하지만 과제양이 정말 많아요. 제 실력에 비해 어려운 과제를 받으면 잠을 줄이면서 과제하는 날도 많았고 개인적으로는 버거웠어요.
다른 학생과 교류하는 자리가 아주 많아서 만족스러웠어요. 다른 반 학생들과 배운 내용을 서로 알려주기도 하고 학생들이 준비한 발표를 듣기도 합니다. 그리고 밍글이라고 다른 반 학생들과 주제 없이 자유롭게 수다떨거나 가끔 점심시간에 멘토들과 대화하는 시간도 있습니다.
2. 액티비티
한 주에 2-3번 액티비티가 있어요. 함께 관광지 투어, 레이저건, 봉사, 게임, 축구 등 다양한 체험을 즐길 수 있습니다.
3. 기타
늦은 밤에도 길거리에 사람이 많고 치안이 좋았어요. 맥길 대학 바로 근처에서 지냈는데 위험하다는 생각은 안들었습니다.
어학당에 일본인이 가장 많았어요. 특히 7-8월 방학시즌에는 일본 대학에서 단체로 어학연수 오는 시기라 다양한 국적의 학생들을 만나지 못했던 게 아쉬웠어요.
숙박은 신청하지않아 평점을 남기지못합니다
프로그램 자체가 알차서 영어를 제대로 배우고 싶은 분들이 오시면 좋을 것 같아요. 추천합니다!!
