The WECL College has been providing English instruction for Chinese students since 1988. English instruction is a highly competitive business in China but what sets WECL apart from the others is the program and program delivery.

There is a set curriculum at all levels of instruction. Current up to date text books are used in all subject areas. The school calendar is planned a year in advance enabling the students to know well in advance the course schedule.

There is a Qualifying Program designed to help the beginning learner of English as a Second Language to develop competence in communication skills at an elementary level by presenting the basic functions of grammar and vocabulary. As the student develops a basic foundation in reading, writing, speaking, listening and comprehension, the major focus will be placed on developing listening and speaking skills.

There is a Combined Studies program which is open to students with a College degree or at least six years of high school. This course includes Business and World Cultures in the curriculum which will require a higher level of English than that of the Basic level.

The General English Studies Program is the second year of the Combined Studies program or may be taken by someone with a 3 year university course and a minimum of 6 years of English instruction. Every attempt is made to instruct the student at his/her level of instruction. At the conclusion of this course many students are fluent in the English language.

Program delivery is another strong feature of the WECL program. The college hires only native North American English instructors from the United States and Canada . Most are certified professional teachers with many years of multinational experience and others are recent graduates from North American universities, a combination which makes a blend of youth plus experience. Upon registering for the College students are given a placement test and have an oral interview in order to place the student at an appropriate instructional level.

Instruction is delivered in a variety of ways in order to make lessons more interesting and also more practical. Individual work, group work as well as formal exams are used in the evaluation of students. In addition to classroom instruction there is a teacher available at both campuses after classes to support and reinforce concepts taught during the day.

Traditionally, Beijing WECL has provided instruction in the University Campus of Erwai which provides an excellent educational environment where students are able to study. New this year is a second College location in the Guo Mao area in the heart of Beijing. It provides a modern setting and is convenient to bus and subway connections.

Students who reside in the dormitories at Erwai are provided transportation to and from the Tsinghua campus.

The WECL English immersion experience is an excellent program for those who are sincere in their efforts to become competent English communicators.
