In terms of courses, academic English is the main focus. Teachers at the Chinese language center have a better understanding of their school’s formal curriculum education system and can help students overcome language and various obstacles that may arise in formal courses in the future.

➤Disadvantages : 

Classmates have different levels

Most of the students come from academic institutions in cooperating English-speaking countries, or have been in the UK for a while and have a certain level of English.

When teaching, school teachers do not fully consider students from non-English-speaking countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan.

Tense learning atmosphere and few course options

The focus is on getting into higher education, so there is progress pressure, and the courses are either general English or academic English.

Many students whose mother tongue is Chinese

There are many people who speak the same mother tongue, so you may use less English to communicate with your classmates.

The risks and troubles of changing schools or departments

Suppose that Mr. Chen has finished studying in the language class of University A, but finds that University A has rejected his application for admission. Or he finds that the courses of University B or graduate school are more suitable for him. At this time, Chen cannot apply for University B with the language scores of University A.

The only way is to take the IELTS exam (there is a risk of failing); or to take another direct English class at University B.

 

In fact, the so-called public and private language schools are not absolutely good or bad.

Basically, the teaching and courses of each language center have their own characteristics.

Students can discuss it carefully with us to find the most suitable language learning environment for them.
