The expat gets a visa, some cash, an education and gets to meet korean people face to face in exchange for authentic language speaking practice. A little different from how they are proposing but it seems to be working out. the problem with thier proposal is i think it will attract the wrong types and you will see expat crime and general jackassery on the rise.
