First Prenatal English Hagwon to Open Doors Tomorrow

The opening ceremony for a new kind of English hagwon is scheduled to take place in Busan tomorrow morning. Embryo English, a private language academy for expecting mothers and their unborn babies, is the first of its kind in the nation. The school caters to women in any stage of pregnancy who want their children to get ahead in learning English.

"We are so excited to be the pioneers in this industry," explained Yun So Bin, owner and manager of the hagwon. "The response to our program has been overwhelming. We even have a waiting list with the names of hopeful couples who are trying to conceive!"

One such prospective mother, Kim Geum Jin, stood eagerly outside of the hagwon. "I heard about the program from other mothers in my neighbourhood. We discuss educational matters quite frequently," she commented. "Especially when it comes to English education. I want the best for my unborn daughter and I want her to get a head start studying for the university entrance examination."

Embryo English is the second language academy opened by Yun. Her first, called 24/7 English, is open all hours of the day for those who prefer to receive instruction past midnight. However, she has even higher hopes for her new school and wants to surpass her current enrollment at 24/7.

When asked about the pedagogical techniques to be adopted by this new school, Yun responded enthusiastically. "Our primary method of instruction will be robot-centered learning. Because they are still in the womb, the embryos will not even realize the robots are not native English speakers. We have already purchased several of the machines in anticipation of tomorrow's opening. In addition, our curriculum has been designed to incorporate embryo- level English textbooks written by a Professor at a local university."

The ribbon cutting ceremony is set to kick off at 10 am tomorrow. All are welcome to attend.
