Enrolling students aged from 8 to 18 are all taught to communicate naturally in a well structured and supportive environment.   We usually decipher and place our students into one of three different groups, elementary, junior high and senior high.

Our elementary students are evaluated and placed into one of twelve levels.  Each level is taught with precise teaching techniques which in granted has given us the great assistance towards our well known success rate over the past years.

Our junior high school students are offered both our prestige conversational and grammar classes.  We try to achieve each student to speak efficiently and write adequately just as if they were to travel abroad to an English speaking country.

Our high school students are taught by our strategic teachers who in turn prepare our students simultaneously with the advanced level to prepare our students for all major entry exams such as university or oversea applications.

In general, Great Language provides a high quality of interactive learning skills with small classes taught by professional teachers who only focus on five basic skills: Listening, speaking, reading, writing and most of all, having fun. All of our teachers use a wide range of teaching techniques along with specialized textbooks to meet the maximum objectives when learning English.  To further the experience of making English fun and memorable, we also provide entertaining and quick learning materials such as songs, movies, comic books and magazines.

Great Language only recruits the best of the best native speaking teachers who possess TESOL certificates and university degrees from Canada, the United States of America or the United Kingdom.   We also make sure that each teacher meets our expectations by providing us the upbeat and outgoing personalities that Great Language has been prominently recognized for the past 24 years.

To ensure the best quality of learning, our class sizes are kept small so that each student can receive the maximum attention thus bringing a strong relationship that is built between the teacher and the student.

Great Language has always taken a lot of pride and care when teaching a student.  We not only care about our student’s learning experience, we also care about making the experience fun and memorable.

Feel free to come and visit us.  We will welcome you with a GREAT smile.  We as a GREAT English school guarantee that you will be satisfied beyond your expectations.  Come and see for yourself.

微型創業-大聖美語補習班 堅持小而美

劉朱松/台中報導

曾任公司英文祕書工作長達12年的大聖美語主任葉少枝,28年前,自行創業,獨自從家教班開始;如今,大聖的美語教師與行政人員共達10人,學生數也成長數十倍,在台中算是「小而美」的美語補習班。

回首來時路,葉少枝堅持主力客群,聚焦小學及青少年,堅持不開設成人美語班,最大用意,就是要與文理補習班的教學與客源,做差異化與市場區隔。尤其,僅此一家、別無分號的做法,成為大聖經營的最大特色。

畢業於靜宜大學外文系的葉少枝,曾赴美取得美國加州大學河濱分校(UCR)的TESL師資班結訓證書,因而加深她的美語翻譯、書信,及教學的底子與功力。

葉少枝認為,美語教學開班靠的是人力,而不是靠機械設備,所以,不是個高報酬率的行業,但此行業她有興趣,並堅持美語的教學過程中要培養學生的課餘興趣,而不是帶來課外的負擔。

大聖不惜重金添購設施,提供學生頂級學習環境,包括數位教室、雲端圖書館,及線上閱讀認證等8項設施或環境,並堅持小班教學,以期培養學生的聽、說、讀、寫等全方位美語能力。

大聖的經營策略,標榜「從優秀到卓越」(Good To Great), 如同「從A到A+」般。她憑著「三專」的堅持,包括專業的美語、專業的師資,及專業的課程,藉以吸引學美語的客源。

誠如德蕾莎(Teresa)修女所言「我沒有能力成就大事業,但是我可用我有限的力量,成就無限的小事」。葉少枝在經營大聖美語過程中,也有此感受。

葉少枝很重視師資陣容,例如,本國美語師資,則以聘請大學外文系畢業或英文教學碩士且擁有7~10年以上的教學經驗;外籍師資均以「母語為英語且擁有英語教學證照」專業教師為主。

對聘請師資門檻頗高,葉少枝認為,大聖聘請師資主要是馬上上線教學,而不是美語師資訓練中心。她的創業心法,強調不追求第一,也不求最大,但講求唯一的專業教學品質。

10年前,她看過補教業的潮起潮落,10年後,有人找她洽談開設分校及連鎖店事宜,都被她婉拒了。原因是她堅持先把第1家店做好,且聚焦在美語教學,不開辦英文安親班。

去年11月7日在新加坡舉行的「馬習會」,曾在大聖學習美語、目前任職於外交部的Ella,就擔任馬習會的即時翻譯,及英文版文稿撰寫人,而大聖的學生有如此成就,已成為葉少枝辦學最大的回饋。
