Whether it is near the bustling Jing'an Temple or in Lujiazui, where financial giants gather, you can see the Wall Street English logo. In Shanghai, where every inch of land is at a premium, it can be spread all over the commercial centers and is located near the subway entrance with convenient transportation, and only Wall Street English can have such strength. Even if online English training is popular today, it can't compete with Wall Street English in terms of classroom experience, marketing and product packaging.
Headquartered in Baltimore, Wall Street English was once the English language training brand of Pearson and has been acquired by Baring Private Equity Asia and CITIC Capital. Even so, Wall Street English has 45 years of experience teaching English and has always focused on teaching English to adults. Since entering China in 2000, it has opened more than 70 learning centers in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Qingdao, Hangzhou and other cities. Such as Peng Liyuan, Pan Shiyi, Liu Qiangdong, Li Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, etc. are all star students of Wall Street English. Wall Street English is also an exclusive partner of Harvard Business School Publishing, with which it launched the English business management course, Harvard Management Masters. In China, it has also won the titles of "Influential Foreign Language Education Brand" by Tencent.com, "Most Influential Foreign Language Training Brand of the Year" by NetEase, "Brand Awareness Educational Institution" by Xinhuanet, and "Influential Foreign Language Educational Institution by Chinese Reputation" by Sina Education.
随着用户随时随地学英语的需求增加,华尔街英语如今的教学模式为线上线下相结合的方式,这不仅保留了传统教学的特色,也迎合了More学习者的需求。整个教学体系是按照华尔街英语的浸入式母语教学法系统来完成。其中包括听、发音、技巧练习、对话、小测试、读&写、外教小班课(或其他VIP课程),以上环节为一个封闭式循环,完成一个阶段后再从听的环节开始下一个循环。学员需要在线上完成前六个环节,才能约课进入中心参加外教课程。
According to the needs of different groups of people, Wall Street has divided the courses into four levels: Prime, Deluxe, VIP and VVIP. Fees vary depending on the level of the course, as well as how you can make an appointment and the course experience. The more expensive the tuition, the more you can experience personalized customized courses, of course, including 1-to-1 small class classes with foreign teachers. Taking small classes as an example, the face-to-face courses in the learning center are first attended by small classes with an average of 4 foreign teachers, and the content of the online courses is mainly practiced in conversations, and the foreign teachers explain, correct pronunciation and score them. Upon completion, students can participate in supplementary classes with 6-8 foreign teachers, which provide more speaking practice and increase the opportunity to interact with students of the same level. There will also be a social club of about 12 people focused on discussions. After completing a unit and passing the test, students can move on to the next stage of the learning cycle. In addition to the above courses that require reservations, Wall Street English will arrange 2-3 English corner activities every week, and the foreign church will explain the knowledge of related topics before the start of the English corner, which is a good choice for students to improve their English skills and expand their knowledge of English culture.
In addition to face-to-face classes, Wall Street also offers 7 online interactive speaking lessons per day, with a maximum of 8 students per class. In the process of online oral practice, the foreign teacher will guide and correct the topic. Students will also be able to browse the Financial Times for free at Wall Street English, as well as the exclusive Harvard Management Events course.
The allocation of teachers is also one of the advantages of Wall Street English over other English training institutions. The admission of English foreign teachers is very strict, and they need to hold TEFL, CELTA, TESOL, DELTA and other relevant English teacher qualification certificates or diplomas, and have more than 5 years of teaching experience, more than 2 years of corporate training experience, etc. After joining the company, you will also need to attend a teacher training course in Wall Street English in order to teach. The Chinese teacher who is responsible for tutoring and answering questions must also have professional English level 8 or equivalent. Wall Street English also does not hesitate to display its teaching team, and the qualifications of the teachers will be posted on the walls of each center, so that students can see the quality of the teachers at a glance.
The teaching environment of each learning center breaks the traditional isolation of areas, adopts an open environment configuration, each classroom is separated by soundproof glass, and the teacher's office is located in the open area, providing students with questions at any time. The English corner, multimedia open area, classrooms, and offices are open to each other without interfering with each other. This not only makes it easy for participants to communicate in an oral communication environment, but also makes the teaching process more transparent for teachers.
However, large institutions also have been criticized, the biggest problem is that the packaging and sales of products are better than the products themselves, strong sales and deposit payment, appointments, refunds and other steps, are the main problems of negative news. Each level on Wall Street has the shortest number of hours of instruction at several large institutions, and it is difficult to make leaps and bounds in a short period of time if students do not spend more time practicing. In addition, it is necessary to complete the required online preparation before booking a face-to-face course, which is really difficult for office workers. Even if you can successfully complete an online course, it is not easy to book a foreign teacher class that suits your time. If you want to learn English on your own time, you can only pay higher tuition fees and increase the level of the course.
In general, Wall Street English has the most complete curriculum and learning system for adult English speaking training, but the price is expensive, with the average tuition fee for regular small classes being as high as 40,000 to 60,000 yuan, and the high-level courses are 3-4 times higher. Therefore, those who want to sign up for classes must be sober in the promotion of course sales, on the one hand, according to their own free time, and on the other hand, they must also start from their own economic conditions. Even if the sales proposes to pay in installments, you need to face up to your perseverance and planning to learn English, and don't blindly and impulsively spend. When signing a contract, you should read the terms carefully to see if there is any discrepancy between the verbal promise and the terms of the contract.
