🔽 What is the course system like at Webster Transfer?

◼ Webster Transfer School operates a 'video lecture + distance learning' system that utilizes the best of both online and offline lectures. ◼ All textbooks are digitally produced with pictures and audio, so you can spend less time learning and more time and money.

🔽 What makes Webster's Transfer English courses different?

◼ English grammar needs to be dissolved - it's not a matter of formalizing it, but rather a process of digesting and eventually eliminating grammar rules. English words need to be memorized - people remember words with pictures and audio six times longer than they do with simple text. ◼ Reading in English should flow like water - recognize 5-7 words at a time, just like you would when reading Korean, rather than breaking it up into multiple passages.

Transfer English tutoring remotely

Webster Transfer Institute operates a 'transfer English in-class + transfer tutoring distance learning' system that utilizes the advantages of both online and offline lectures. In particular, all transfer English textbooks are digitally produced with pictures and audio, which allows us to reduce costs while increasing learning effectiveness with less time investment. The pass rate is ironically high because few students participate in distance learning due to lack of awareness and publicity since it has only been a short time since he started operating the school independently from an English instructor (15 years of experience) at Kim Young Transfer Academy.

It's an interactive class where you watch a recorded video lecture in advance, and at a set time, you connect on your smartphone, tablet, or PC and ask and answer questions simultaneously. It takes courage to ask questions in a brick-and-mortar classroom, but remote classes encourage active class participation because no one is watching.

Real-time remote quizzes

Pop-up quizzes during lectures are a great way to assess and feedback on individual student understanding in real time and encourage more active class participation.

Are paper books more effective than ebooks?

The tactile sensations of flipping through a paper book and the analog sensibilities of underlining are certainly necessary in the digital age, but with the ubiquity of smartphones, we've become accustomed to reading and getting more information by browsing on screens than on paper.

The purpose of this article is to dispel some of the myths about the effectiveness of learning with digital media, beyond the favoritism of traditional media outlets that have lost their market to digital media. There are pros and cons to each, and it's better to consider efficiency, economics, and personal preference rather than a binary approach.

◾ What is the analog sensibility of paper books?

The image we have of a book was shaped by the mass production of books after the invention of printing in the 16th century. At that time, books were still handwritten by scribes, so books were very foreign to the general public.

The naturalness and handwriting of the scribe's handwriting, which varied from character to character, was the sensibility of the era, and the mechanical books produced by the printing press were rejected as inferior to reading. Before that, books were clay tablets, papyrus, and parchment.

A book's appearance changes with the times, but its essence is its content. In the same way, sensibility reflects the technology and prevailing sentiment of the time, so when times change, so does sensibility.

Professor Hyunju Song (Department of Psychotherapy, Seoul National University)

It's a false argument that the human brain started to regress when we started tapping on keyboards instead of writing with pens.

This ignores the fact that keyboarding develops other functions of the brain, as proven by cognitive science. You probably don't remember your friends' phone numbers very well, and the media has even coined the term digital dementia, which is actually quite natural in the digital age. It's not that your brain is deteriorating because of your smartphone, it's that you don't need to memorize phone numbers.

We live in a world of information overload, and there's more to using our brains than memorizing a few phone numbers. We're learning to install apps, utilize social media, edit photos, shoot videos, and more. What the brain doesn't like is a lack of stimulation.

A recent paper in Frontiers in Psychology found that children are more engaged with e-books than paper books and learn better from them.

The various multimedia, dictionary features, and animations helped me to focus and enjoy the content and learn the vocabulary.

You'll retain content much longer because you can see it with your eyes and hear it with your ears anytime, anywhere, which is something you can't do with a paper book. A smart class is one that constantly stimulates the brain.
