Weibo English (Huaqiangbei Center) - Institutional Review

Founded in 1998, Weibo English has been established for 20 years this year, and is the only official language partner of the "2014 Silicon Valley Mayor China Walk Shenzhen" activity, with English speaking training as the core, and has been awarded the "Most Influential Foreign Language Training Institution of the Year" by Tencent, Sina and CHINA DAILY for several consecutive years, and has been awarded the "National Designated Training Base for English Talents" by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture.

After entering Weibo English for learning, there will be four people to follow up with the students, namely CC, coach, Chinese teacher and foreign teacher. The coach supervises the course and makes a plan from four aspects: institutional philosophy, learning methods, personal interests and learning habits. The teaching part is jointly responsible for both Chinese and foreign teachers, and the more basic part is the Chinese professor. After each class, the students will rate the teachers, and the grading is related to the performance evaluation of the teachers, which has a certain supervision effect on the quality of the teachers. At the end of each stage of the course, students will also be guided to complete the upgrade speech, and the upgrade speech will be completed before the next level of learning. Graduation presentations are also given at the end of all classes.

Weber's classroom model is the same as that of other large institutions, with software on the computer first, and then offline small classes, salon classes, and social clubs, and is even called a "low-profile version of Wall Street". The preview software used by Weibo is not self-developed, but chooses Dyned, which is produced by a third party, using pictures and animated images for intelligent voice correction and dialogue practice, and the interaction method is very primitive, and the sense of situational substitution is relatively poor compared to the two giants. It takes about 2 hours to complete 95% of the pre-study content, and when the accuracy rate reaches more than 80%, you can book 1 core offline class and 2 extended classes. The core class is a small class of 1-4 students, and the content is to consolidate the knowledge points of the courseware, and the duration is 55 minutes. In addition, basic conversation classes such as Touch Stone and All Star are also set up, which are suitable for students with lower levels, as a review and extended learning of small classes, covering real scenarios such as self-introduction, work communication, clothing, food, housing, transportation, travel and study. However, these two courses are not fixed in time and are not offered many times.

Weber also has its own English learning rating system, from Pre-IB to Advanced, there are 8 1 Levels, each level is divided into 12 units, and it takes about 6 months to complete a level. It provides two billing methods, billing by level, each level is about 10,000 yuan, and the more levels purchased, the lower the unit price; The other is to follow EF's time-based billing, with an average monthly fee of about 2,000 yuan, which is more suitable for students who want to study in a short period of time.

In recent years, as one of the "four-wheel drive brothers in the training industry", Weibo English's reputation seems to have taken a sharp turn. In the 2016 Shenzhen Education and Training Institutions Annual Review Information Announcement, Weibo English is only basically qualified, and there are problems in terms of qualifications. The negative feedback from the students is that the teachers are not strictly controlled, and the teachers do not have the teaching qualifications promised by the institution; The course experience is poor, the software preview consumes too much time, and there are few opportunities for offline exercises. CC's attention to students is only reflected within 30 days of registration, and when the refundable period is exceeded, the service seems to be a dead letter; As well as the difficulty of refund, vague contract wording and other common problems of adult English training institutions, consumers should be clear that the primary goal of commercial training institutions is to make profits, and the second is teaching. It is recommended that consumers consume rationally, carefully think about the purpose and expectation of learning English, choose the price and level that suits them, and stay sober. It is worth noting that there are many institutions in Shenzhen that use the same Dyned system as Weber, and pay attention to screening and comparison when experiencing other institutions. In addition, the headquarters of Weber English Shenzhen Center is located in Hong Kong and Macau City, and there are many Gome home appliances near Hong Kong and Macau City, so students should pay attention to distinguishing directions when going to the center to study.
