What Teachers Say
“The students completed over double their assigned speaking quota and tripled their viewing quota with 100% participation rate!”-Duncan Gallon English LecturerHong Kong District Institute of Vocational Education
“I personally think it’s the best site period for English language learners. It provides listening, speaking, and reading practice– all in an extremely engaging way.”Larry Ferlazzo, New York Times Blogger
“I tell students that EC is the best investment of their time because it taps all theirlanguage abilities in a contextual, dynamic way.”Brenda de JongSchool Founder and DirectorThe English Center, Amsterdam
“EnglishCentral plays a very important role in my students’ fast improvement of their speaking and listening skills.”Nina HanakovaEdupreneru, EnglishBrno, Czech Republic
“I am using EnglishCentral with repeating students, it is obvious how advantageous it is to use EC. Before we started with this program, only 21% of the repeating students passed their IELTS after repeating the regular Level 4 course. After using this program for only one semester, 51% of the repeating students passed their IELTS!”Vicky Allen, English FacultyFujairah Women’s College, UAE
