Introduction
This Training Center was established in 1998 with the aim of providing Chinese people a better and more effective way of learning English. To do this we have adopted some of the world’s most advanced Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) software. Web’s teaching system was immediately successful and we have since gone on to establish nearly 80 centers across China, in such cities as: Shanghai, Beijing，Guangzhou, Hefei, Dalian, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wuxi, Nanjing, Shenyang, Urumqi, Suzhou, Changzhou, Wenzhou, Xiamen, etc.
 
Today, Web has become one of the biggest international English training centers in China. Each year it helps nearly 50,000 people, including government officials, employees in international companies ，university students and high school students. We have a vast network of current and former students around the country all using the Web method to improve their English.
The key idea behind the entire Web system is that we teach language as a skill. To do this Web uses world-class proven multimedia courseware and combines this with highly qualified foreign teachers to provide the students with a complete learning environment.
 
We are committed to small class sizes to ensure that all students get the attention they need. The maximum number of students in Private Classes is limited to 4. In the larger salon classes, where the focus is more on group work and discussion, the maximum class size is 10.
 
This Training Center offers much more though than simply computer self-study and classes. The students can also enjoy a wide range of extra activities, such as English Corners, Social Clubs, Movie Classes and Extra Curricular trips. These are events where the students can mingle with the foreign teachers that come from a range of different countries, and practice English in a totally natural, real-life way. In this way not only will the students’ language skills improve but also their cultural knowledge.
