We offer a rich text with both Chinese text and HTML tags. Please do not translate the HTML tags, only the Chinese text. Here is the translation of the Chinese text: The communicative nature of English learning is increasingly recognized by more parents. However, what kind of English learning is true communication? On March 31st, with the theme of "Subverting Communication," Xueersi Online School officially launched the joint online Chinese and foreign teachers' class - Amazing English! Xueersi Online School's English joint Chinese and foreign teachers' class - Amazing English will rely on the self-developed speech recognition and identification technology of Xueersi Online School, adopt the "1+2" mode of Chinese and foreign teachers' joint teaching, introduce customized listening and speaking materials from Cambridge University Press, and original English reading materials from Oxford University Press. It will comprehensively explore a "systematic learning, speaking, and high-frequency" closed-loop standard learning path for Chinese elementary and middle school students in second language acquisition. Professor Fan Wenfang, English linguistics professor at Tsinghua University and doctoral supervisor, Ms. Yuan Jiang, President of Greater China at Cambridge University Press, Mr. Nicolas Mayfield, Senior Training Officer at Cambridge University Press Greater China, Ms. Zhang Ying, East Asia Regional Business Director of English Assessment Department at Cambridge University, and Ms. Gao Ying, head of the Strategic Academic Support Department at Oxford University Press, attended the press conference together. As a K-12 online education brand under TAL Education Group, Xueersi Online School provides after-school teaching for children aged 3-18 in all subjects. It uses the "live broadcast + tutoring" dual-teacher teaching mode as well as teaching methods such as live interactive classes, real-time interaction, in-class testing, speech recognition, and timely Q&A, making it an important explorer in K-12 online education in China. This time, Xueersi Online School's "new attack" will bring what kind of Amazing to the online English education market? Establishing the joint teaching model of Chinese and foreign teachers "1+2" With the popularization and application of Internet technology, various online English teaching models based on "Internet+" have emerged, especially the one-on-one and small group online foreign teacher classes. However, the newly released online Chinese and foreign teacher courses by Xueersi Online School still adhere to the form of group classes. Xueersi Online School's online joint Chinese and foreign teacher class adopts a "1+2" mode of joint teaching, with each unit's course consisting of 1 Chinese teacher class and 2 foreign teacher classes. In this mode, the teaching content of Chinese and foreign teachers is scientifically divided. Chinese teachers lead children in systematic learning of basic English knowledge, emphasizing accumulation and input. The learning system conforms to the universally accepted method and path of second language acquisition in the world. By explaining vocabulary, summarizing grammar knowledge, strengthening basic and writing abilities, children can more easily understand and comprehend. Professor Fan Wenfang, English linguistics professor at Tsinghua University, doctoral supervisor, and vice president of the National Basic Foreign Language Education Research and Training Center, also expressed her approval. The next two sessions of classes by European and American foreign teachers help children strengthen the use of English. The first session is a foreign teacher listening and speaking class, using teaching materials customized by Cambridge University Press for Xueersi Online School students. It repeatedly practices the vocabulary and sentence patterns learned in Chinese teacher classes in different simulated scenes, ensuring that children can speak fluently and use them proficiently in similar real-life scenarios. The second foreign teacher class is a reading extension class, where foreign teachers will lead children to read international authoritative English original reading materials, such as the Oxford Reading Tree and Reading A-Z, helping children achieve a comprehensive improvement in listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities. Each child has a dedicated AI intelligent foreign teacher The class opening time in the class is comparable to online one-on-one with a foreign teacher Currently, the most favored form of English teaching by students' parents is online one-on-one foreign teacher classes. The launch of Xueersi Online School's joint Chinese and foreign teacher classes is bound to raise questions about whether its learning effect can be equivalent to online one-on-one foreign teachers. In fact, as early as July last year, Xueersi Online School released self-developed technologies such as facial recognition and speech recognition. Among them, through speech recognition technology, students' speech, intonation, and even semantics can be recognized, and feedback and evaluation can be given in real-time, allowing teachers in the online classroom to "hear" the students. It can be said that Xueersi Online School not only "recreates" the learning scene of offline classrooms but also can record and feedback the learning situation of each student. With the self-developed technology of Xueersi Online School as the foundation, Xueersi Online School's English department has formed five innovative systems: - Speaking class energy bar - allowing children to speak continuously in class - Human-machine dialogue role play - making speaking fun for children in class - Morning reading voice assessment - allowing children to speak repeatedly after class - After-class dialogue with coaching - allowing children to speak with the coaching teacher after class - One-on-one correction of pronunciation - allowing children to speak accurately and fluently In one-on-one online foreign teacher courses, an important indicator is the duration and frequency of using English. Zhou Nan, director of Xueersi Online School's English department, stated that in the 30-minute foreign teacher classes of Amazing English, the average English speaking time of children exceeds 8 minutes. It can be said that in the classroom of Amazing English, the average speaking time of students can match the current one-on-one foreign language speaking products in the market. According to Zhang Guohui, the technical director of Xueersi Online School, the speech recognition technology of Xueersi Online School has been applied to various aspects of English teaching and can intelligently evaluate the pronunciation of each student. Based on millions of pieces of voice text-based data, evaluation and scoring by 1,000 teachers, this evaluation system is more stable and accurate than subjective scoring by humans. The application of the speech recognition system of Xueersi Online School is like equipping each student with an AI intelligent foreign teacher, allowing them to practice English anytime and anywhere, get accurate evaluation and feedback, and prepare for and adapt to the human-machine dialogue listening and speaking tests in English examinations such as National College Entrance Examination and National High School Exam. This teaching mode, different from pure Chinese teaching or pure foreign teaching, has realized high-frequency English teaching, encourages students to speak, practice frequently, and put emphasis on application. Cambridge + Oxford Continuously introducing original foreign teaching materials from abroad to achieve "big" communication An excellent teaching scene cannot be separated from high-quality teaching content and teaching products. The teaching content of Xueersi Online School's online foreign teacher classes combines English teaching resources of internationally renowned publishing houses, in coordination with the system of Chinese teacher courses. Among them, Cambridge University Press has designed a new listening and speaking course based on the content of Chinese teacher courses. It was jointly written by a team of Cambridge English education experts to ensure that the material is authentic and fully applicable to what is learned in Chinese teacher courses. In reading class, original English reading teaching materials from Reading A-Z and the Oxford Reading Tree have been introduced successively, allowing students' reading abilities to be synchronized with international standards. Zhou Nan stated that by introducing original English teaching materials from overseas publishers, the goal is to create a "big communication" English environment. An important point of the reform of English exams such as the National College Entrance Examination and National High School Exam is to test practical English skills. Therefore, what is communication? Is it simple greetings, asking about colors and ages, or everyday conversations? Xueersi Online School's English department hopes to redefine "communication" to include thoughtful, logical, and thoughtful "big" communication, incorporating daily conversations, language learning, and cultural exchange. At the same time, Xueersi Online School will also cooperate with the English Assessment Department of Cambridge University to start the training of English coaching teachers. Within two years, all coaching teachers will complete the TKT certification. This is also the first online education institution to conduct professional assessment and training for a large number of coaching teachers. In the "live broadcast + coaching" teaching model pioneered by Xueersi Online School, the importance of coaching teachers is increasing, and enhancing their professionalism will undoubtedly bring a better learning experience and effects to students. By providing a closed loop of Chinese and foreign teachers + AI + coaching teachers, Amazing English from Xueersi Online School has explicitly stated that "systematic learning, speaking, and high-frequency" will be the standard learning path for the second language acquisition of K-12 students in China, with none of these aspects being dispensable. Xueersi Online School currently has over 200,000 English learners. Not long ago, during her visit to China, British Prime Minister Theresa May personally experienced Xueersi Online School's live streaming system and interacted with the school's students through the system. In the future, the class mode of Amazing English from Xueersi Online School may bring new ideas to children's English teaching in China and open up a brand-new path for development.
