We are pleased to announce the major upgrade of our products, launching the future system for primary school English.

"We hope to open a door to the future world for children, using the latest and highest quality learning content, adopting the 'Fully Active Learning' teaching method which is highly valued by the top universities in the world, fully inspiring children's interest, achieving deep language learning, and cultivating 'global citizen' with future competence." This is the position of Xueersi English - Elementary School Future System.

On March 26th, Xueersi English released the Elementary School Future System. Yin Xu, the product manager of Xueersi English Elementary School, introduced and communicated with over 100 parents and students on the specific details of the future system, declaring the official launch of Xueersi Elementary School Future System.

Following the launch of the new product Hello English Plus in the elementary school curriculum system, Xueersi English’s Elementary School Future System belongs to high-end English learning products, which, together with Hello English Plus, will build a full range of extracurricular elementary school English courses to meet different language learning needs. At the same time, Xueersi English hopes to truly implement the brand concept of cultivating children's "lifetime abilities" through the Elementary School Future System.

Let's take a look at the improvements in this Future System.

Strong cooperation between outstanding Chinese and foreign teachers

Providing children with the best learning experience

Xueersi English is the first to use a dual-teacher model, with top domestic ESL teachers collaborating with Ivy League schools and the top 30 educational background foreign teachers. All Chinese teachers have language proficiency certification of IELTS 7.0 or TOEFL 100 and official Cambridge CELT-P teacher qualification certification, fully understand Cambridge original textbooks and assessments. All foreign teachers have undergone rigorous background checks, with Ivy League or Top 30 global education background and foreign language teaching qualification certification.

The collaboration of outstanding Chinese and foreign teachers is clearly defined. Chinese teachers mainly teach language fundamentals and develop thinking abilities, while foreign teachers are responsible for cross-cultural courses, literary appreciation courses, future capability courses, and encyclopedia reading courses, among other featured courses. This system will use the ‘Fully Active Learning’ teaching method highly valued by top universities worldwide as the core, fully inspiring students' interest and achieving deep language learning and comprehensive capability development.

The first institution in China to introduce dual original textbooks

Cooperation between Chinese and foreign teachers to achieve "language + literacy" cultivation

Introducing English original textbooks in domestic English education institutions has long been the norm. However, Xueersi English Elementary School Future System is the first to simultaneously use the Cambridge University all-ability original textbook Citizen Z and the National Geographic published graded reading textbook Reading Explorer.

The latest all-ability original textbook Citizen Z from Cambridge University includes modules for literary appreciation, cross-cultural curriculum, future survival skills, world values and self-values, thinking training, and civic consciousness development. It allows children to think and see the world through English, multidimensionally cultivating children's future capabilities, exemplifying the core literacy in the field of English education.

The first author of this textbook, Dr. Herbert Puchta, an international expert in language learning and thinking ability cultivation and former Chairman of the International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language (IATEFL), introduced the textbook to the parents and students present at the event through video, offering warm blessings. The students present also received a handwritten letter signed by Dr. Herbert.

The graded reading textbook Reading Explorer from National Geographic is a "encyclopedic adventure-style" reading textbook, which not only fully complies with the European standard language proficiency, but also uses the latest language materials with top-quality presentation, allowing children to experience the thrilling, fascinating, and thought-provoking stories behind the articles and photos firsthand. Therefore, Reading Explorer has been designated reading material in many private schools in the United States and high-quality primary and secondary schools in China.

Xueersi English uses two sets of textbooks in the Elementary School Future System, achieving complementary teaching content, not only helping children elevate language learning from knowledge to literary cultivation, but also fully embodying the educational concept of Xueersi English to allow students to "see the world and lead the future," and cultivating children's "lifetime abilities."

12 to 16 students in ultra-small classes

Meeting multiple needs of students

Small class teaching has always been the tradition of Xueersi English. However, the Xueersi English Elementary School Future System curriculum breaks through the traditional small class mode of Xueersi to adopt a class size that is "smaller than small," with a maximum of 12 to 16 students in a class to ensure that teachers can cater to the needs of each student.

Additionally, the teaching of the Xueersi English Elementary School Future System curriculum emphasizes "student-centered" learning, with tailored learning plans for students before class, continuous tracking of student learning status, and regular generation of personalized growth reports to allow parents to understand their children's learning situation in a timely manner. The advantage of fewer students also further enhances classroom interaction, fully leveraging classroom brainstorming, skits, and other activities to stimulate children's interest in learning. Post-class group sharing, reading salons, 21st-century speech competitions, Model United Nations activities, and TEDx speech activities can further help students achieve deep language learning while providing platforms and space for students to showcase their personal charisma.

Comprehensive assessment of abilities upon enrollment

High-quality and efficient hierarchical teaching

The Xueersi English Elementary School Future System curriculum will continue to adopt a hierarchical teaching format. Upon enrollment, students need to undergo an ability assessment to ensure a high-quality and efficient classroom experience. The enrollment ability assessment covers a wide range, examining not only the child's language proficiency but also the child's expressive ability, teamwork, and other comprehensive abilities, to allow students to learn and progress together with outstanding peers.

It is reported that the Xueersi English Elementary School Future System curriculum will be launched at the Xueersi Beijing branch in the summer of 2018, enrolling the first batch of students from grades one to three, and will be gradually promoted to higher grade levels and other branches across the country.
