New Times International Training Center
was
founded in 1997 and at the time was the first private language training
school in Chengdu (the capital city of Sichuan Province, Southwest
China) with all foreign teachers. Since then, New Times has developed
and delivered over half a million classroom hours of customized
instruction to more than 60 joint ventures and multinationals in
Sichuan, as well as providing professional teachers through our Primary,
Middle, High School and College placement programs to educational
institutions. New Times maintains teaching and training partnerships in
different cities throughout Sichuan Province, including with Tongjiang
Middle School, Deyang Foreign Language Primary School, Dazhou JuQuan
Foreign Language School and Neijiang Middle School, among many others.
New Times' instructors have trained the staff of the corporate elite,
both foreign and domestic, such as MOTOROLA, SIEMENS, KIMBERLY-CLARK,
DFEM, HAIER, CHINA EVERBRIGHT, LAFARGE, SHELL, L'OREAL, ERICSSON, and
ALCATEL. (see our client profile) Few other Training Centers in Chengdu have stood the test of time, which measures the esteem with which New Times is regarded in the Sichuan ESL industry. New Times has carved its own niche at the top of the corporate training market due to the quality of its teaching staff who not only come from teaching backgrounds, but from business backgrounds as well. For all courses, New Times maintains a rigorous level testing system for its students, and provides systematic updates and feedback to clients regarding student performance and participation.New Times' courses are a systematic way of developing students' skills. New Times operates on the following principles: Previous learning becomes a foundation to build upon. Ours students are given an interview to ascertain their comprehension level. The appropriate placement of a student into the level which matches their current skills is essential. New Times recommends that classes not be ¡°catch-alls¡± with a wide-range of student skill-levels in one room. That¡¯s why we test our students and slot them into a class with the appropriate peer skill level ratio. Many schools simply cannot offer that type of flexibility due to low student volumes, however, New Times, with its constant and consistent student flow does have the ability to put the client in the right place and at the right level. There is a clear ¡°code¡± of understanding between teachers and students. Just showing up to class is not enough for students or teachers. Students are expected to do homework, study, review, preview, ask questions, and be active and interested. Teachers are expected to prepare well for class, produce fun and interesting exercises, interesting facts, and new ways to learn. They are expected to chart the student's progress and help them on the way towards ESL excellence. ¡¡ |
