For me, GEO Program is...

Below is a compilation of student's feedbacks regarding the GEO Program:

“I think the program is getting better compared to last year. I feel it is really helpful now. During the program, I had great opportunity to speak in English. But I think this would be better if the program have more systematic “English in Action” program like English Clinic. If it is more systematic, it will really be great.” - Anonymous

“GEO Program is the pride of Catholic University of Korea! It gives students confidence in using the English language. It includes club activities like pop song club, drama club, art club, and so on. Through this program, we learned English in more exciting ways. Why don’t you enjoy with us? GEO could help you improve your English.” – Kang Bomi

“GEO Program makes me speak English easily. During this program, I met many good friends in my class. Although, my personal time decreased, I think GEO Program is worth attending. I recommended GEO to all students of CUK, because in this program they can spend their personal time developing their English skills and their social skills as well.” – Park Nuri

“I think GEO Program is a good program. Although I think it takes too much time, for me, it was very fun. I had a great time talking in English.” - Anonymous

“Wow! GEO is fantastic program! Have you ever heard about GEO program in Catholic University? There are many people involved in different majors and year levels so you can make new and different friends. This program is four times in a year; first semester, summer vacation, second semester and winter vacation. I recommend this program during the vacation. I’m sure that you can make friends and be good in English. Why don’t you join the GEO program?” –HyunYeong

“I want to have more GEO class time (e.g. three time a week). Actually, in GEO class I used Korean very often. So I feel very sorry and I really am regretful. So I think it is better for students who participate in GEO class to follow the rule and prevent using Korean.” - Anonymous

“I met many friends in GEO program. All my classmates are ladies so I was surprised at first. But that is a chance to talk much frankly. I want to keep in touch with my class members later. I will remember fun times in GEO program.” – Jee Won

“I think we need a unified curriculum for each level. Last semester we used a textbook but some students said that is too boring to learn but if we will not use a textbook, at least we need a specific plan. So I think that’s the biggest problem in this semester GEO.” - Anonymous

“I think that GEO program is good for student. First, there are many good program- English clinics, Colloquium, conversation contest, party, etc. Second, GEO class has free atmosphere so all students don’t get stress about English. Third, GEO class is good for improving English. I like GEO program so I’ll participate the GEO Program again.” - Anonymous
