学而思外教Derrick评论国内英语培训

中国可以说有着世界上最大的英语培训行业，针对不同的市场有上百家英语培训学校。其中，最受欢迎的课要数外教英语课程了，课程特色主要是提供给学生跟随母语为英语的教师学习的机会。理论上，与说地道英语的人交流和学习是提高英语很有效的方法，但是，值得注意的是，说一口地道英语的人并不能代表他就是一个合格的英语教师，就好像，一名出色的篮球运动员并不一定能成为一名出色的教练一样。在很多外籍教师的英语课上，并没有真正为学生做预设课程或是有计划的活动，他们只有一本学校发的教材并且要求按照教材去教。甚至有很多外教不按照教材而只是随便让学生参与某个话题的讨论，而这跟交一个说地道英语的朋友和他聊天没什么区别。

　　另外一点，许多学校在推广课程的时候都以老师的外貌和国籍为作为卖点。我认为，学生需要认知的是，并不是所有的白皮肤，黄头发和蓝眼睛的人都擅长英语，相反地，许多深色皮肤的印度老师和其他亚洲国家的比如新加坡或马来西亚的老师会标准的英式英语，因为这些国家早期为英属殖民地。

　　在学而思的外教英语中，我们招聘的老师并不是单看他们的外貌和国籍，而注重的是他们对英语掌握的流利程度，个人性格，更多的是教学技能，并且我们的老师在正式上岗前都会经过一系列专业的培训项目。我们的课程设置是经过对最新的教学理念和技巧的研究而形成的。我们承诺每一节课并不只是有趣和活跃，更多的是通过熟知各项考试如三一口语、北京英语水平考试和剑桥五级等而充分掌握发音、词汇和语法等各方面的综合技能。

　　China arguably has the biggest English tuition industry in the world, with hundreds of English schools targeting different markets. One of the most popular classes offered by these schools is the "Foreign Teacher English class", which promises students the opportunity to learn English from a native English speaker. Logically, conversing and learning a language from a native speaker is a great way to improve one's English. However, people should understand that a good speaker will not necessarily make a good teacher, just like how a good basketball player will not necessarily make a good coach. In many Foreign Teacher English Classes, there is no pre-determined syllabus and planned activities for students. The foreign teacher is just given a textbook and asked to follow it. Many teachers don't even follow the textbook and just engage students in discussions of random topics. This is not different from someone just making a native English speaking friend and chatting with him in English.

　　Another issue is that many schools sell their classes based on their teachers' appearance and nationality. Students should understand that a teacher with fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes is not necessarily good at English. At the same time, many dark-skinned Indian teachers or teachers of Asian descent from Malaysia or Singapore speak perfect British English as these countries were once British colonies.

　　At XueErSi's Ultimate English, we recruit teachers not based on their looks or nationality, but based on their fluency in English, personality and teaching ability. Teachers will also undergo a training program before they can commence teaching. Our syllabus and activities are based on thorough research into the latest teaching concepts and techniques. Every class is guaranteed not only to be fun and stimulating, but also to teach students the vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation required to tackle major oral examinations such as GESE, BETS and MSE.

　　At XueErSi we don't just promise, we deliver.
