Gangwon International Language Institute was opened on March 1, 2009.

 We began a new chapter as specialized foreign language training providers in order to quench students' and parents' thirst for foreign language education, and to overcome the current English education setting, highly dependent on Native English Teachers, through retraining of teachers.

 In 2009, the first year of GILI, we are expanding the scope of our business into teachers' intensive training, going beyond mere Students English Learning Center. It is expected that teachers who have been trained in TEE/TESOL pedagogies and four month domestic immersion training at GILI, followed by two months of overseas training, will play pivotal roles in solving issues relating to English education including the English Divide between urban and rural communities that Gangwon-do faces.

 In accordance with the three-year development plan, we will gradually implement upgrades such as expansion of scope of trainees and programs, construction of residence halls for teachers and a 24-hour training camp. As a result of taking such measures, we expect to grow into a Mecca of foreign language education by 2012. By then we aim to have the complete three-year rotating training system in place and also offer courses in other languages as well as school subjects in English.

 We shall put all our heart and soul into achieving our mission of nurturing warmhearted and competent individuals by putting ‘Global Standard, Superior Foreign Language Education' into practice as mentioned above.

 Let us move towards the world with our slogan:

 "From here, you can go anywhere!"

 Thank you.
