    SEOUL, KOREA, November 11, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Many people may have heard of or experienced internet courses.

"Sky Community will make you confident in front of foreigners"

But there are some inefficiencies in internet courses. First, different from the traditional off-line classes, there are many users who miss the classes or have a hard time concentrating effectively. However, it is not realistically easy for busy students to go to morning or night classes. Considering this situation, Korean company 'Sky Communication' introduced an interesting and effective active learning system with a very reasonable price.

Sky Community (www.skyktc.com) is providing more than 50 kinds of language learning applications including Engcavoca, Engterview, and Engtalk etc. With their experience in producing educational applications, they are providing internet courses for language learning or job related classes called English Dong School, Job Dong School and Certificate Dong School. They are also running a telephone English class called 'Winning Phone.'

Recently, they gathered a lot of attention by joining a project with Samsung to develop a wearable software 'Engcavoca watch.' Their active learning platform 'Engterview' was produced with the support of the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning' NIPA project and last March, 1.0 version was released. Now they have been selected as a Nuri Dream Square's innovative venture center company and have an office in Sangamdong and are getting a lot of marketing support.

The CEO Jun-kyu Na and CTO Jeong-jin Kim have broad experience in startup companies related to education services like Etus, Winner Study etc. and they have also worked in major Korean companies like Hyundai Car and Daewoo International etc. They are combining business and education based on this experience and knowledge.

The company's representative service 'Engterview' is an abbreviation of 'English' and 'interview' and it is a very new type of educational application that has a reward system. With a TTS function that reads sentences and a sound recognition function, the application creates an environment where users can practice foreign languages just like actually speaking to foreigners.

To motivate them, the users are given 1000 points when they make 10 questions. And it has a lot of interesting learning modes such as 'Vocabulary quiz' that users can guess English vocabulary with some clues, 'Describing images', 'English shiritori', 'Making sentences' etc. With the points gathered, users can purchase the Wining phone service, Japanese or Chinese internet classes as well.

"The key element of Engterview is its reward system that motivates learners by rewarding them for participation and sharing and the points," said CEO of Sky Community Jun-kyu Na. Engterview is entering the global market, recently releasing the Chinese version.

Not only language, but most learning environments are turning from offline to online. People do not have to go to offline classes because personal devices like TV, PC, PMP are offering educational services. With the appearance of wearable devices like smartphone, smart watch etc. online learning market is experiencing a second wave. Sky Community's future role in smart active learning market with their fresh idea and technology is anticipated.
