This paper explores the effects of a three-week immersion English camp on Korean students at a university in Korea. The first part of the main body describes which programs comprised the immersion camp and how they were run. The students were taught from the following four courses: Communicating in English, Business English, Games and Drama. The second part shows the feedback of the participants through a survey analysis and the changes in the students’ English proficiency levels on the OPIc Speaking test. The purpose of the camp was to improve the students’ communication skills and instill a motivation to continue to study English. Through an analysis of the survey, this paper seeks to assess the degree of realization of the camp’s goals. The survey analysis shows that most participants think the intensive camp was very effective in improving their English. In addition, the changes in students’ Opic scores allow us to conclude that most participants’ English speaking proficiency levels improved quite dramatically. Lastly, the paper deals with additional suggestions for improving the camp in the future.
