Founded in 1998, Weber English is a well-known English speaking training center in China, with more than 150 training centers in more than 60 cities across the country. It has been rated as the "Most Influential Foreign Language Training Institution of the Year" by Tencent and Sina 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.
Weber English's current teaching model is also modeled after large institutions such as Wall Street and EF, using online preview and offline appointment teaching. Weber's teaching model is "flipped hybrid multi-faceted learning", which is actually a way of preview, offline teaching, and multi-theme salon classes. Offline with small class classes, salon classes, special classes and other different course modes. However, its online learning system is not independently developed, but chooses Dynd, which is produced by a third party, using pictures, videos and other interactions, and is accompanied by intelligent pronunciation correction and oral practice. However, the online curriculum setting, practice mode, and intelligence cannot be compared with Wall Street and EF. After completing the online preview, students can make an appointment for offline core courses, extension courses, etc. The core class is a small class of 1-4 students, the teacher reviews and consolidates the knowledge points in the course, and the students strengthen the language output through dialogue in the course, and the class time is about 1 hour. Enrichment courses, such as salon classes, involve 12-35 topics at each level, and each lesson is interactive around a topic; According to the other needs of students to learn English, the special courses are divided into business English, workplace English, zero-based English, etc., and special teaching is carried out for students of different levels.
In Weibo's teaching, it is generally completed by foreign teachers and Chinese teachers, and the basic knowledge part is taught by Chinese teachers, who are mainly responsible for oral pronunciation, oral communication practice, and teaching more scene use. In addition, there is a role of coach as a course supervisor at the Expo, tracking the completion of the course learning of the students. At the end of each lesson, students can rate the teacher, which is related to the teacher's performance evaluation, which also has a certain role in supervising the teacher's teaching quality.
Weber English requires foreign teachers to be from native English-speaking countries and have proof of teaching experience and relevant qualifications, while Chinese teachers also need to have teaching experience and relevant certificates. However, the degree of disclosure of teachers' specific qualifications is far from being comparable with Wall Street and EF, and the quality of teachers is also uneven.
Weber English, which was once able to compete with EF, seems to have a continuous downward trend in reputation in recent years. In terms of online and offline teaching mode, it is not as perfect as Wall Street and EF; The curriculum is not as flexible as iVEE English; The preparation time is too much and the output of offline exercises is less; Tough sales routines do not match the actual teaching effect; It is difficult to wait for refunds. However, in addition to oral communication, Weber also pays attention to the all-round development of listening, speaking, reading and writing in English learning, and there will also be case studies and practical exercises in business English. In terms of course purchase, Weibo provides students with two purchase methods, one is to charge according to the level, complete a level of about 10,000 yuan, the more levels purchased, the more discounts; The second is to charge according to the time, with an average monthly average of about 2,000 yuan.
Cost: 30000-60000
