Whether it is Luohu, Futian or Nanshan, Wall Street English can be seen in the commercial centers of various districts, and Wall Street English is the leader in the adult English training industry in Shenzhen in terms of quantity. Because of its high-end positioning, its location in a high-traffic commercial center, gorgeous store experience, strong marketing and publicity system, and high tuition fees have become the hallmarks of Wall Street English.
Although Pearson sold Wall Street English in 2017, it is not for nothing that it is a subsidiary of the former Pearson. Pearson is a global powerhouse in education, training and publishing, having published Longman English Dictionary and New Concept English. Headquartered in Baltimore, USA, Wall Street English is home to well-known companies such as Coca-Cola and Volkswagen.
Since Wall Street English entered the Chinese market in 2000, Wall Street English has opened more than 70 teaching centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Qingdao, Hangzhou and other cities, with more than 100,000 domestic students. In 2009, Wall Street English cooperated with Harvard Business School Publishing to launch the English business management course "Harvard Management Masters". In July 2016, Wall Street English successfully completed the ISO9001:2015 accreditation, becoming the only English language teaching institution in China to pass the re-accreditation.
The large and professional faculty is one of the advantages that sets Wall Street English apart from other institutions. All teachers must pass strict admission qualifications, such as TEFL (Teaching English to Non-Native English Speaking Students in Non-English Speaking Countries) / CELTA (Cambridge University Teacher Certificate) / TESOL and DELTA (English Language Teacher Diploma), as well as more than five years of teaching experience, more than two years of corporate training experience, and peer conversation skills (i.e., the ability to communicate effectively with people of different ages and English proficiency). After joining the company, they will also attend a 44-hour Wall Street teacher training course before they can teach. At the same time, the center of Wall Street English will post relevant certificates of teachers, if you are worried about part-time or international students in the teaching team, you can check the relevant certificates; The Chinese teacher (SA) who is responsible for tutoring and answering questions must also have a professional level of 8 or above. In addition, the Shenzhen Center brings together some of the high-quality teachers of Wall Street English, and teachers who perform well in other Wall Street English cities will be "promoted" to the Shenzhen Center.
Wall Street's curriculum system is not complicated. You must complete the GSE Global English Proficiency Test before enrolling in a course. The GSE standard is developed by Pearson and is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF). After completing the level test, a Course Consultant (CC) will recommend lessons based on different foundations. From the most basic level of the Wall Street English rating system, GSE21, that is, zero foundation, can only use basic vocabulary to describe events; Up to GSE84, students can fully understand what they have heard and read, summarize multiple points of view, and reorganize their own opinions, have the ability to express themselves fluently and accurately, and use appropriate vocabulary in complex contexts to talk and write. There are a total of 20 levels in the middle, each level contains 4 units, you can choose any number of levels to combine, if you count the frequency of 2-3 classes per week, it takes about 1 month to complete a level.
常规小班课（1-4人）、VIP课和VVIP课是华尔街的三种授课模式。小班课在上课前须进行预习，内容为华尔街自主筹拍的Make It Big情景体验剧，以真人秀和世界各地旅游日志视频的方式呈现Listen（听）、Pronounce（发音）、Practice（模仿练习）、Speak（对话）、Confirm（做题巩固）、Read & Write（阅读和写作）六个模块，在此进行一系列纠音和对话模仿练习。斥巨资拍摄的情景体验剧能贴合学生的水平来教学，这种方法系语言习得理论里的情景教学法，耗资巨大效果也更好，这也是Wall Street English的优势之一。做完后即可约面授课。面授课又分成三种模式，以小班课为例，先上4人Encounter（外教小班课），主要将在线视听课的知识点进行对话练习，老师输出占30%，学生输出占60%-70%，外教会进行打分；6-8人的Complementary（外教补充课）一般是同一单元的学员共同上课；12人Social Club（社交俱乐部）侧重于主题讨论，2-3人分组进行观点表达，一般同一级别的学员一起上课。除了以上需要预约的课程外，Wall Street English在周内每晚、周末全天会固定组织2-3次英语角活动，涵盖文化拓展、商务礼仪等主题，对于提升英语沟通技能、突破口语瓶颈来说，都是不错的锻炼机会。另外由于其VIP和VVIP的课程定位为高端消费群体，所以这个课程还兼有拓展人脉的功能。
In addition to the main course, the Channel English channel is an online foreign teacher classroom, which will provide 7 online oral interactive lessons every day, which is also about a certain sentence pattern, popular events or historical events to discuss, and the number of people in each class is limited to 8 people, hosted and corrected by foreign teachers or SA; At the same time, students will be provided with free access to the Financial Times (FT.COM); There is also the exclusive Harvard Management Master course that is also available; All staff members of the institution are English-speaking, and there is a special computer learning area for practicing reading and writing, and SA is always available to answer questions, and the "immersive" teaching atmosphere is unparalleled.
It is undeniable that the strong growth momentum of Wall Street English has been accompanied by a lot of criticism, such as not being able to make an appointment, charging high fees, difficulty in refunding, and false publicity. In several major institutions, Wall Street has the shortest class time at each level, and the official claim is not to consume efficiency with time, but the time for practice output is also shortened, if it is not matched with an average of at least 1 hour of listening input per day and offline English corner oral output, to accelerate the English learning process and absorption efficiency, it is difficult for students with a weak foundation to make leaps and bounds by relying on these few class hours alone; Due to the flexible scheduling of courses for VIP students, the class time of small class students is limited when the number of foreign teachers remains the same, so Wall Street stipulates that small class students must complete 3-5 hours of online pre-study classes before they can book face-to-face classes.
However, this measure did not change the situation of more monks and less porridge, and sometimes it was not possible to book foreign teachers a week in advance. Most of the students in small classes who do not have appointments will be upgraded to VIP at their own expense at the suggestion of the course consultant, and although they have the priority to book the course, the tuition fee has more than doubled. It is understood that the per capita tuition fee of regular small classes is 40,000-60,000 yuan, and the price increase is maintained 3 times a year, and the class fee of VIP is 3-4 times higher, with an average of 150,000-200,000 yuan. The performance-oriented assessment standard makes the course consultant (CC) go to great lengths to guide each student to the VIP course, and propose various installment and education loans, recommending the purchase of long-term high-priced courses with a time span of 2-3 years, and the cost is staggering. The English corner is a good opportunity to exercise, but there are also problems such as repetition of topics, pure chatting and no learning effect. In terms of fees, Wall Street English's contract wording is ambiguous, which makes the refund rules difficult to read and criticized. In addition, Wall Street English has been officially acquired by CITIC Capital and Baring Asia, and it remains to be seen what the future of Wall Street English will be after the separation of education giant Pearson.
If you want to enroll in classes, you must keep a clear head under the clever tongue of CC, do not consume impulsively, and at the same time reduce the learning effect expectations advertised by CC, and the learning of English to a certain extent still depends on your own efforts; Before purchasing the course, the consumer needs to pay the reservation fee to apply for the scholarship, and the consumer can reduce the amount of the reservation fee according to the actual situation; When purchasing courses, you should set your own learning expectations according to your own situation, purchase class hours on demand, allocate study time, determine the class time 1-2 weeks in advance and make an appointment, so as to avoid the trouble of not making an appointment. Carefully communicate the refund matters before payment, and clarify whether the oral commitment is contained in the contract; In particular, when there are clauses in the contract, such as "any oral communication and commitment between the two parties that are inconsistent with the written expression of this contract are invalid", it is necessary to pay special attention to whether there are consumer traps. If you encounter trouble and need to make a refund, you should also take effective action according to your own contract situation. As of March 2018, Wall Street English, as the first English training company, has become a network unit of the Consumer Protection Committee in Shenzhen, and consumers can also contact the Consumer Rights Protection Committee for negotiation and mediation when they encounter trouble.
