Yeongyang-gun and Tucson City, Arizona, USA, Operate Online Video Classes

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongbuk, is operating an online video class (English Language Development) suitable for the COVID-19 situation during the winter vacation period from January 18 to February 8, according to the international exchange agreement with Tucson City, Arizona, USA.

Due to the continued spread of the COVID-19 infectious disease, a study group was formed with Tucson Office of Education staff, affiliated school teachers, and 16 participating students from Yeongyang-gun to conduct interactive online classes using Zoom to improve students' English skills.

In particular, this program will include various American (Tucson City) cultural experience programs to attract more student interest.

Students can participate in the contactless English class program suitable for the COVID era using computers and smartphones at their homes.

Governor Oh Do-chang said, "Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, international exchange opportunities through visits to the United States could not be held this year as well, so I hope that the non-face-to-face interactive online learning will be an alternative solution for parents and students who feel great regret."
