CBNU finds better ways to solve problems by comparing camps each year

 CBNU Summer English Career Camp was held for four weeks beginning on June 22 in the Center for International Affairs. Sixteen students with scores of more than 700 and 114 students with scores of less than 700 on the TOEIC test joined this camp. Unlike the last winter camp ran for excellent students only, this camp was for students with low self-confidence. The TOEIC scores of students who participated in this camp have improved by an average of 120 points.
 Students can choose among three levels. Beginning Class is focused on TOEIC basic lectures which students feel difficult, and Intermediate and Advanced Classes are focused on lectures in connection with employment.
 Also, a sticker system was conducted for the first time during this camp. Students with more than 50 stickers can receive a half-price discount of the camp fee. They can receive stickers when having good quiz scores, making presentation or helping staffs.
 Furthermore, outstanding graduates were awarded scholarships during this summer camp. The amount allocated was 1.9 million won. Students who did well on English conversation tests and TOEIC scores, obtained many stickers. Students who weren't late or absent were awarded book tokens worth 20,000 won or 30,000 won. In addition, study groups which improved English ability were re-awarded too.
 Many students have responded well in taking a diversity of lectures associated with TOEIC. However, some students complained about the study groups. For example, some group members had similar abilities and group time was too short. Han Na-ra, who was a camp student, said, "They went wrong with the format of study groups and student management. I think it would be more efficient to study alone than to participate in the study groups."
 Satisfaction level about this camp was significantly different in each class. In a survey on satisfaction, the Intermediate C Class resulted in the lowest score of 80.4% in comparison with 86.5% which was the average of the other classes. In addition, only 66.7% of students said 'yes' to the question of 'Did you think this camp was helpful? Are you going to recommend it to your juniors?', the result was 10% lower than the average of the other classes.   
 Lee Hae-ryeon, who is the camp manager, gave some explanations, "The C Class members had unremarkable TOEIC scores. Also, the class had been assigned TOEIC lessons in the sleepy afternoon. I think that the satisfaction of students has been decreased because of time placement and lecture composition."
 Bae Deuk-reull, who is the director of the CBNU Center for International Affairs, said, "Since students with low English scores are lacking in self-confidence, we encouraged them to recover their confidence. As a result, one student improved over 400 points during this camp. CBNU students need continuous challenges and exertion. They can have meaningful university lives when their efforts are supported. I hope that many students take the challenge with self-confidence."
