I remember that I had relatively limited knowledge and experience in children's education at the time. At that time, my child's English grades were not very good, and because my English level was not very high, I decided to pay for some tutoring classes for my child to improve his English. Later, through a friend's introduction, I registered for the trial course of Jiuqu Children's English online and received the trial lesson. I would like to share the educational effect and the quality of the teaching materials of Jiuqu English.
How about the English textbooks and teachers?
The selection of foreign teachers in Jiuqu English may not be of much help to me, because Jiuqu adopts a non-fixed foreign teacher model, and parents cannot choose foreign teachers on their own, but are randomly assigned to their children by foreign teachers, which makes it relatively difficult to teach children according to their aptitude.
Although the purpose of learning English is to be exposed to different languages and cultures, it is very challenging to have a teacher who does not understand the child's personality to teach them individually.
Jiuqu English's textbooks are based on the CEFR framework and are in line with the new curriculum standards for public primary schools in China. For example, a parent gave me a message about the content of the phonics L1 lesson, which includes learning the name, pronunciation, writing and representative words of the 9 letters, introducing phonics, training pronunciation, and learning high-frequency words.
Due to the convergence with the new curriculum standards of public primary schools in China, the content of Jiuqu's curriculum is relatively boring compared with the equivalent level courses of other institutions, including a large number of situational dialogues and many vocabulary and high-frequency words that need to be mastered.
In terms of teachers, Jiuqu provides different forms of foreign teachers, including North American foreign teachers, Chinese and foreign teachers, and European and American foreign teachers. In terms of textbooks, the original imported textbooks, textbooks based on the CEFR framework, and textbooks combined with the new curriculum standards are provided.
In addition to teachers and teaching materials, parents also need to consider other factors when choosing an English language institution. Due to the fact that Jiuqu adopts the mode of non-fixed teachers and parents who need to make their own appointments, the trial class is usually arranged by the teacher with strong teaching ability, but the subsequent teachers are not necessarily the same, so the effect of the course may be affected to a certain extent. In addition, parents need to choose the right teacher for their child, and the cost of trial lessons is higher.
Therefore, parents need to consider a number of factors when choosing an English institution, including the interactivity of the curriculum, whether the curriculum system is in line with the child's learning plan, curriculum design, class delivery method, and service quality.
Here we recommend an institution with higher teaching quality - [Nicekid English], which provides a fixed teacher, and if you are satisfied with the trial class, you can choose this teacher as the official course teacher. In addition, all foreign teachers have TESOL TEFL teaching certificates, with an average teaching experience of more than three years, so parents who are interested in this can learn about it.
