논어에 나오는 명언이 있다. 인생에 세 가지 즐거움이 있는데, 첫 째는 부모님이 살아계시고 형재 자매들이 별 일 없는 것, 두 번째는 하늘을 우러러 부끄러움이 없는 것, 마지막 세번째가 똑똑한 제자를 두어 가르치는 것이다. 한문으로 세 번째 즐거움이 得天下英才 而敎育之 三樂也(득천하영재 이교육지 삼락야)이다. 필자에게 오는 영어를 참 잘하는 수강생 중에 수업이 끝나면 스스로 단어 정리를 하면서 공부하는 학생들이 있다. 이들이 토익 기출 단어 표현 중에 중요하다고 생각한 단어들을 3회에 걸쳐 정리해 본다. 토익 과외는 비싸다. 비싼 돈을 주고 공부한 똑똑한 학생들이 정리한 것이니, 분명 가치가 있을 것이다.

Defining proficiency in a second language is one of the most controversial topics in second-language education. In the past, near-native proficiency was considered the ideal, but that has changed with the spread of communicative language teaching beginning in the 1980s. CLT focuses on individual learner needs rather than a definition that can be applied across groups of learners. Second-language teachers understand this, but society at large often has complex and conflicting ideas about second-l

By Lee Seok-woo In recent years, the rapid decline of biodiversity worldwide due to deteriorating global environmental conditions, including climate change, has become a pressing concern. The need for urgent measures to conserve biodiversity has never been more critical. Arboretums play a crucial role in preserving plant species diversity, especially in the conservation of indigenous plant species. Additionally, the diverse forms of gardens being established in urban areas are increasingly recog

The Korea Military Academy’s Academic Board and the University of Utah Asia Campus agreed to forge educational cooperation to foster global talents and competent officers. The two institutions signed a memorandum of understanding Tuesday at the Korea Military Academy in northern Seoul to cooperate in strengthening English education. The agreement includes plans to develop a course that students from both colleges can attend and to come together to hold English-speaking contests, a KMA offi

Over 300 employees of GS Caltex and their families planted 10,000 East Asian seepweeds, which enhance mudflats' carbon capture capacity and carbon absorption rates, in the Ramsar site at the Julpo Bay Tidal Flat Ecological Park in North Jeolla Province on Sunday, the South Korean oil refiner said Thursday. The eco-friendly project began in April when the company launched the campaign to encourage employees to buy 3.3 square meters of the mudflat to prevent reckless development of the natura

It is shocking to see the claims raised by former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby in recent interviews with Korean media. In particular, the argument that South Korea should consider its nuclear armament is very disappointing. Although such claims have been made intermittently, this time is uncomfortable and scary because he is known to be one of the best elites in the United States who studied at Harvard College and Yale University, and one of the strong candidates for a

A poll published by the Economist this month included a finding that was striking yet unsurprising: Almost 7 in 10 Americans believe things in the country have spun out of control. That's a problem for President Joe Biden, who campaigned in 2020 offering a return to normalcy after four years of chaos under Donald Trump. Biden promised, in effect, to Make America Normal Again, but "normal" never quite returned. The COVID-19 restrictions ended, but the ensuing recovery brought high

Find the answer at the bottom. Depending on one's cultural background, one may celebrate various milestones in life. In South Korea, the first significant milestone for a baby is surviving the first 100 days of life. Although rare now, in the past, families -- often wealthy ones -- would invite relatives, neighbors and friends to a celebratory banquet marking the baby’s 100th day. This custom stemmed from the high infant mortality rates of the past, which records show stood at

이번 회에는 저희 책 Advanced Vocab에서 소개한 중상급 영단어들을 알려드립니다. 단어의 우리말 뜻을 기억하는 데에 그치지 않고, 난이도 있는 단어를 실제로 활용하는 단계까지 나아가 보기 바랍니다. 〈직업, 일, 자격〉 1. carpetbagger [kɑ́ːrpit bæ̀ɡər] 철새 정치인 우리나라에서 ‘철새 정치인’은 주로 당을 옮기는 사람을 말하는데, 미국의 carpetbagger는 지역구를 옮기는 정치인을 뜻하므로 의미에 차이가 있다. 카펫(carpet)용 천으로 만든 가방(bag)을 들고 이리저리 돌아다니는 사람이라는 뜻에서 유래했다. Many New Yorkers considered Hillary Clinton to be a carpetbagger when she moved to New York to run for the Senate. 많은 뉴욕 사람들은 힐러리 클린턴이 상원의원에 출마하기 위해 뉴욕으로 옮겼을

We keep learning until we breathe our last breath on earth. No matter how old and erudite we are, there are always new things we need to learn. Learning continues even after graduating from school and becoming a grown-up. Many things around us constantly change and we have to keep up with them. Our language is a good example. The usage of vocabulary or verbal expressions constantly changes and we need to catch up. When I taught at Brigham Young University in the US in the 1990s, my colleague, pr
