About Web International English

Web International English is one of China's most recognized and respected brands. Since its inception in 1998, Web has gone on to establish over 120 training centers throughout China and now stands at the forefront of the language training industry. Currently teachers are required in more than 30 cities including: Guiangzhou, Beijing, Hangzhou, Dalian, Kunshan, Wuxi, Nanjing, Chengdu, Changsha, Changde, Shenzhen, & Yixing to name but a few.

We believe in making a difference. Web International English stands for quality and innovation in education. Because of this, we draw talented people to work at Web and we continually invest in the use of technology to stay ahead of the curve. We deliver high-quality service by empowering students to achieve communicative excellence in English, helping them function effectively in a globalized world.

Our teaching

Most Web students start at Web with some English ability, with their reading and writing skills better than their listening and speaking. They are often especially lacking confidence and fluency, so it is our job to create a learning environment which is as positive and supportive as possible. We also want to create the closest thing we can to an English immersion environment, so we don’t allow Chinese to be spoken in the classroom.

The working week is 40 hours, which includes 25 teaching hours. Classes are mostly small in size and have teaching materials prepared for you. Office duties are minimal; we don’t spend time correcting tests or homework or doing much lesson planning in the office.

All Private and Salon Classes have lesson plans already made for them, which makes it easier to prepare – teachers just have to review the lesson plan before class and review any vocabulary or grammar structures they are not familiar with. Preparation for a Social Club may take a bit of time, however, especially if it’s a topic of the teacher’s choosing and he or she needs to create the lesson plan and material.

Occasionally another member of our staff will need a teacher to perform a level test for a student, or a student will need a teacher to correct grammar of a presentation they’re preparing for presentation class.

Our philosophy

Language is a skill, similar to learning to drive or play a sport. Therefore, it must be acquired through practice. It cannot be learned by passively sitting through grammar lectures given by a teacher.

Small class sizes, which allow students to receive maximum attention from the teachers.

CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) attempts to mirror the first language learning experience as closely as possible with an emphasis on listening and speaking.

Flexible class schedules for students. Students can mould their studying around their work or school lives.

Courses

Students are placed into one of eight levels when they begin their course at Web. The levels are as follows, from lowest to highest: Ice Breaker, Threshold, Beginner, Lower-Intermediate, Intermediate, Business-Intermediate, Business-Advanced, and Advanced. The majority of students are placed into Beginner or Lower-Intermediate when they start.

The core of each level is composed of 36 one-hour classes taught by a foreign teacher. Twelve of the classes are called Private Class and 24 are called Salon Class.

Private Classes have a maximum of 4 students and are based on a unit that students have learned on the computer. The classes are sequential. The focus is on language accuracy, and students are evaluated at the end of each class. The teacher may decide to have the student repeat the class if the student has not demonstrated sufficient language skill in the lesson.

Salon Classes have a maximum of 10 students and do not require as much student preparation as Private Classes. Students choose 24 Salon classes from various topics that are made for their level. There is no order to the Salon Classes. The focus is on fluency and students are not evaluated at the end of class.

In addition to Private and Salon Classes, students can take an unlimited number of Social Clubs(also called English corner). Either there is a topic prepared for the teacher by Web, or the teacher can teach a topic of his or her choice, including games, fluency exercises, multimedia, etc.

Chinese tutors teach Application Classes, sometimes speaking Chinese in addition to English, especially in lower level classes.

Foreign teachers and Chinese tutors also lead ECAs, where the students can participate in an activity either inside the center, such as a Christmas or Valentine’s Day party, or outside the center, such as a sport or game, a picnic, or some other kind of outing.

Students must prepare and deliver a short presentationin Presentation Class towards the end of their level in order to upgrade to the next level.
