The utilization rate of one-to-one courses reaches 40%, which shows that one-to-one teaching has become the most popular teaching method for parents and students in the mainstream education market, which is why most institutions now regard one-to-one teaching as an important selling point. Indeed, compared with the traditional one-to-many, one-to-one can not only pay more attention to students' learning status, but also make better learning plans according to students' personalities, and the learning effect will be more obvious than one-to-many.
However, although parents like it, the one-on-one price is often prohibitive, but fortunately, there are expensive and cheap ones on the market now. Today, Mr. Ai Wei will talk about three popular English training institutions which are famous for their cost performance, namely ABC360, 5 1talk and acaso. I believe you will know more about how to choose courses after reading it. If you need other information, you are welcome to study together.
Course basic information
Judging from these basic information, ABC 360,51talk and acaso are not much different, except for the teaching materials, the characteristics of each school are not outstanding. Relatively speaking, the quality of original textbooks published by authoritative publishing houses will be better, while the content quality of self-developed textbooks will be more uneven.
Next, Mr. Ivey, we will focus on the course contents of these three institutions. After all, this is the focus of learning.
Introduction to ABC360 course:
ABC360 English divides courses into three categories: professional courses, personal improvement courses and minor courses.
Professional course is a series of self-made smiling teaching materials, focusing on practicing oral English. Minor courses are mostly exam-oriented textbooks, mainly new concepts, Cambridge children's English, IELTS/TOEFL oral English.
Recently, ABC360 also launched the original Oxford starlight textbook, but this textbook is difficult and not suitable for children with zero foundation.
However, the classroom performance of ABC360 is still worth mentioning. They are very strict in screening teachers, so the level of teachers is really high.
At the beginning of the class, the teacher will play abc songs and take the children through all the letters. Listening, reading and answering are all led by the teacher, and then master the course progress according to the child's situation. In the summary of the teaching process, foreign teachers will also summarize knowledge points for children through rich and exaggerated body language or small games; The most noteworthy point is that teachers will spend most of their time guiding children and correcting their pronunciation and sentence problems in time, rather than just explaining themselves.
5 1 Introduction to the lecture course:
The curriculum system of 5 1Talk is developed based on CEFR, which is divided into four levels: enlightenment, entry, elementary and intermediate. In the process of learning, the vocabulary of each stage is improved step by step, reaching the highest level of Cambridge English Level 2.
In the course of 5 1talk, the courseware in the lower grades is mainly cartoons, which is more interesting; The courseware for senior students is mainly based on real pictures, emphasizing knowledge input.
In class, I noticed that the courseware of 5 1Talk contains a large number of animation elements, as well as small games such as magnifying glass and clicking the mouse to guide children's learning, which is conducive to stimulating children's interest in learning; At the beginning of the class, the teacher will guide the children into the learning state through simple songs. When the teacher thinks that the children have done well, they will be rewarded with stars. 5 1talk also has the problem of expanding the text content in the courseware. In this part, students should not only understand the meaning of words, but also express their own ideas or opinions.
Generally speaking, the teachers of 5 1talk pay more attention to expansion, and the process is student-centered, with continuous output, and teachers provide appropriate guidance and supplement.
Introduction to acaso course
Unlike the above-mentioned two institutions, which only have self-developed textbooks, acaso's textbooks are divided into large-scale textbooks imported from the original version and small-scale textbooks compiled and developed by themselves. The main textbook is National Geographic all.
Adapted versions of Together, Magic English in Akasha and Rainbow Interactive English, with auxiliary teaching materials including acaso Enlightenment English, Bear-infested Children's English and Speaking English while learning, depending on minor courses, minor infant enlightenment courses and oral classes; Acaso is rich in teaching materials, and it is ready for all ages.
Teacher Ai Wei experienced a lesson with a 7-year-old baby. The whole English teaching process is very simple, and the focus is on word spelling. The first half of the class is mainly to teach children to know letters, and then to know English words starting with these two letters, in order to let children know the spelling of words and the words at the same time. The teacher is very passionate in class. Although he doesn't have much body language, he is full of emotions, rich in expressions and very serious.
The picture above shows Mr. Ivey's curriculum arrangement in three institutions. From the overall class process, ABC360, 5 1talk and acaso all have their own teaching characteristics, and parents can choose according to their children's personality and their own needs. Although these three online children's English training institutions are famous for their cost performance, the prices are still different. Under similar conditions, I suggest choosing the most cost-effective one. After all, the cost of a class of 5 1Talk is more than enough for two classes in acaso, and the textbooks of acaso are all original+self-developed, which is more abundant.
Mr. Ivey concluded:
ABC360, 5 1talk and acaso are all suitable for families who pay attention to the cost performance of courses. Relatively speaking, ABC360 is more interactive and suitable for introverted children. 5 1talk is interesting and suitable for children to learn. Acaso is more cost-effective and suitable for children's long-term study.
Ok, if you still have questions about ABC360, 5 1talk and acaso, or about other courses, such as the differences between educational institutions in the Philippines and foreign teachers' institutions in Europe and America? Which foreign educational institution in Europe and America has higher cost performance? What learning materials do I need to match after signing up for online English courses? Mr. Ivey will also give you more specific suggestions according to each child's situation.
