Less than three years old, the GnB English Company has become one of the leaders in the English education field here in Korea for young learners. With 1,600 schools nationwide, a well thought out and planned curriculum, and excellent teacher training and support, the GnB franchise has proven to students, mothers, school owners and teachers that its program is solid and effective.

The astonishing quick success of GnB may be surprising to most people, but people familiar with GnB know that the reason for this success can be found in the company motto, which says," English education aimed at improving speaking skills". In other words, "speaking is believing". Most English programs in Korea, up to recently, have focused on reading, listening and grammar. GnB's program concentrates on speaking first and then all of the other skills as support. What is the use of a language if one cannot speak it?

After studying under a rigorous program that includes the four basic skills ㅡ reading, writing, listening and speaking ㅡ students come away, able to communicate in English with confidence and competence. Especially, in speaking, students can talk naturally without fear or hesitation. All of this is accomplished using a unique patented methodology called "Thought Unit" and "Connective Questions".

In 2004, all of the contents in GnB books have been transferred onto a software which enables students to study at home what they have learned in the classroom. This software combines state-of-the-art Speech Recognition Technology with GnB's methodology, giving students many opportunities to improve their English. In this way, students learn at a much faster pace.

To guarantee quick and easy movement of books and materials to the many schools across the country, at the end of last year, a new state-of-the-art distribution center was opened in Ichon City . This new distribution center makes it possible for all of our 1,600 schools to receive the teaching materials easily and smoothly.

Last year, a branch office was opened in Vancouver , Canada. During vacation time, many students enjoy traveling to Canada for study and the cultural experience. This office ensures the smooth and successful operation of these programs.

With the success of the young learners' program, GnB has now entered the adult market. It has developed and produced a cutting edge multi-media program called English Life. Using the most up-to-date Speech Recognition Technology, English Life enables students to learn how to speak English with exciting content from movies, TV shows, music videos and much much more.
