FastCampus Launches Premium Monthly Learning Package in Collaboration with The Wall Street Journal
December 29, 2020 — FastCampus, a leading South Korean adult education startup (CEO Kangmin Lee), announced the release of the premium monthly English learning package MyLight in collaboration with The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
The MyLight WSJ package is designed for intermediate to advanced learners of English, focusing on business and academic English. It offers a variety of content, including articles, columns, and videos from the globally influential Wall Street Journal. Learners can explore over 96 topics, such as culture, lifestyle, art, current affairs, and business, all while gaining insight into global trends and knowledge. Unlike other MyLight offerings, which target beginner-level language acquisition, this package emphasizes developing advanced English skills at an affordable price.
The program consists of 12 workbooks, divided into four difficulty levels, allowing learners to choose the appropriate level for their abilities. Each lesson comes with video tutorials led by Sujin Choi, an anchor for EBS World News and Arirang International Broadcasting, as well as native English instructor Walter. The package also includes a custom study planner, vocabulary book, and a one-year subscription to The Wall Street Journal, granting daily access to global news.
Tina Tsu, head of FastCampus Language, said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with The Wall Street Journal on this project. This partnership enables us to offer a diverse curriculum ranging from beginner to advanced English, providing new solutions for adults in Korea seeking innovative language learning methods.”
Joe Martin, Vice President of Commercial Partnerships at Dow Jones, added, “We recognize that FastCampus Language offers excellent foreign language learning experiences in Korea. Through this partnership, we are excited to bring The Wall Street Journal’s world-class content to a new audience of potential learners in Korea.”
The MyLight series, which covers seven languages (English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Italian, and German), is structured to make consistent study easy, with one workbook per week. It also addresses pronunciation, speaking, and writing, which can be difficult to master independently, by providing online lessons with native speakers. With this new product launch, MyLight now caters to a broad range of consumer needs, offering not only language diversity but also a comprehensive portfolio that spans from beginner to advanced levels.
