Language-Society

English is the lingua franca of our increasingly interconnected world. It dominates international business, communications, entertainment, science and diplomacy. Koreans spend £7.5 billion annually on private English education, but consistently underperform at international English assessments. Ineffective teaching methods and a lack of speaking opportunities have created a market need that existing companies have failed to address adequately. Language-Society (LS) offers an integrated web-based solution that allows Koreans to practice their English with native speakers. The service acts as an intermediary that matches Koreans to native speakers who wish to give English tutorials in exchange for payment from the Korean learners.
