Practical English: Global Cyber University

This past semester, I was a teaching assistant for the Practical English course at the Global Cyber University. The professor was Kyung Ja Hong. I helped her to answer questions posted by the students on a Q&A board about English grammar and usage. Fortunately, she translated my answers from English into Korean so it was easier for the students to understand my explanations. Needless to say, I learned a lot.

The Global Cyber University is an online graduate university certified by the Korean government. It offers programs in Korean Traditional Culture, Human Services, Global Business Management. Last year, it also opened a department of Brain Education.

The BR Attention Clinic and Brain Training Center and the BR Brain Oriental Medical Clinic

On Saturday, I visited the BR Attention Clinic and Brain Training Center and BR Oriental Medical Clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul.

The BR Attention Clinic and Brain Training Center provide services for children and adults. Services available to help enhance attention include assessment, neurofeedback, computerized training programs, Brain Education, and play therapy.

Other children's programs include HSP (Heightened Sensory Perception) training, Emotional Stabilization for Academic Achievement, and Global Leadership (offered in English).

Recently, a group of 22 youth from the Global Leadership program attended the annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations.

Adult services offered include assessment, healing, breathing and meditation, and brain relaxation, balancing, emotional releasing, and integration.

The BR Attention Clinic and Brain Training Center are currently developing offline and online continuing education courses for certified Brain Trainers.

The BR Attention Clinic and Brain Training Center and the BR Oriental Medical Clinic partner with (KIBS) the Korea Institute of Brain Science, IBREA (the International Brain Education Association), UBE (the University of Brain Education), and GCU (the Global Cyber University) to increase research, awareness, and application of information and tools for enhancing individual and collective brain health and overall well-being.

New Global Cyber University Approved by Korean Government

Today the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology authorized the plan for a new online university, the Global Cyber University, to be opened in 2010.

The university, whose administrative building is located on the grounds of the University of Brain Education and Institute for Traditional Korean Studies, will award undergraduate degrees in three departments: Human Services, Global Management, and Korean Culture. As with other online universities, the courses will eventually be made available internationally. Congratulations to the Global Cyber University team who worked hard to make this happen!
