Welcome to BDW Foreign Language School
In July 2000, BDW School opened to become the first foreign teacher language school in Changchun. Today BDW continues to reign as the largest and longest established school of its kind in the city. Whether you are a parent considering a language school for your child, an adult wanting to begin or improve your current level or English or a representative from a business organisation wanting to develop both language and/or the business skills of your employees, BDW can cater for your specific needs. BDW is a modern and dynamic school that listens to our customers and are always looking for ways to facilitate our students’ learning to become not just good speakers of English but to become great communicators in a variety of situations
Our Mission Statement:
"At BDW School we believe that everyone can learn and we seek to provide quality English instruction that will enable our students to become confident communicators today and for the rest of their life."
All of our teachers and staff feel that learners who love to study become better students, so we try to make each class fun and exciting while providing quality English instruction. Our curriculum is designed to enable our students to progress naturally so that they will learn how to use English correctly to communicate effectively. Our educational approach emphasises a “natural” way to learn English much the same way that parents teach babies to speak their first language. Once students learn the basic sounds and letters of English and simple vocabulary, they can begin to develop their listening abilities that will help them study new words and sentences. As students become more confident, we begin to introduce reading and writing, essential skills for effective English communication.
Because our teachers are native English speakers from around the world, students hear English spoken clearly and correctly with native speaking accents. We are very particular in how we select our teachers here at BDW and provide training for them in our curriculum and method of teaching. Our Chinese teachers also work closely with our foreign teachers in planning classes and discussing particular challenges that students may be having. Our teachers listen to each student and by carefully planned activities, assist Chinese students with listening and pronunciation issues that are specific to Chinese English speakers.
Providing this kind of education not only gives students a great foundation in English with native English speaking teachers but also helps students to become confident learners. We feel strongly that all students be given the same opportunities to learn without outside pressure to succeed. When students feel comfortable and relaxed in classes, their studies really improve. We encourage all our students to participate in each class so that teachers can monitor each student’s progress.
