Giraffe American Language is a professional English teaching institution, which has established 658 chain centers in Taiwan, and is the largest English teaching chain brand in Taiwan, with more than one million students trained in Giraffe over the decades. On April 26, 2018, Giraffe American Headquarters in China officially became the official partner of TESOL in the United States, and its more than 60 campuses in China will become the "TESOL International Children's English Teacher Teaching Practice Base". As a TESOL teaching practice base, this means that more Chinese and foreign English teachers with rich teaching experience and international vision will join Giraffe American Language through this channel to provide students with international quality English teaching.
In Shanghai, Giraffe has two centers, Liuzhou Road and Huashan Road, and there are not many campuses but there is a large space inside. The giraffe's education system adopts a small class, age division, and grading system according to the child's learning curve. For example, the flagship campus near Huashan Road in Xuhui District covers more than 170 classes in an area of several thousand square meters, and the curriculum and class segmentation are very high, so that children of different foundations and different ages can find suitable learning classes.
Compared to Disney, giraffes are inferior in terms of natural affinity and emotional connection with children. It is gratifying to know that Giraffe American Language has strict access standards for its teachers, and it has gained a firm foothold in the competitive children's English training market in Shanghai. All teachers teaching in Giraffe have a bachelor's degree or above and must study English-related majors, and the recruited teachers are required to have 1-3 years of relevant teaching experience, and foreign teachers must hold foreign expert certificates and international authoritative English teacher qualification certificates. Don't think that giraffes' requirements for Chinese teachers will be relaxed, in addition to English bachelor's degree graduation, Chinese teachers also require English pronunciation to pass, and can show enough patience and enthusiasm in the face of children, and all requirements can only be hired after meeting the standards. In addition, Giraffe has its own complete teacher evaluation system, and all teachers, regardless of academic background and teaching experience, must complete teacher training courses and pass oral examinations, written examinations, trial teaching and lesson plan writing before they can start teaching. For teachers who are already teaching, Giraffe will also conduct regular seminars to help teachers improve their teaching skills and teaching quality.
Giraffe not only strictly controls the quality of teachers, but also launches its entire teaching system through cooperation with major universities, such as signing a cooperation plan with Grand Canyon University in the United States and Pacific United College in Canada in 2002 to integrate with international teaching; The textbook was independently developed by its editorial team in combination with the situational teaching method, and has been used since its inception, and has received a good response from word of mouth.
Giraffe American Language focuses on exercising children's oral English, and will provide children with a stage to practice their oral English in the class, and children can often be seen showing themselves on the stage with beautiful English songs, vivid drama performances and wonderful poetry recitations. If you want to systematically train your child's spoken English, giraffe will be a better choice, interested parents may wish to take their child to try a trial lesson first, to see how well the child adapts before making a decision. Giraffe tuition fees are more than 25,000 a year, and the specific price will be given according to the child's placement and the course studied.
