HARBIN, China, July 21 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China
Education Alliance, Inc. (NYSE Amex: CEU) announced today that a
co-operative agreement was officially signed with the Foreign
Language College of Peking University to jointly collaborate on the
research and development, promotion and running of a "Practical
Oral English Training Project." Under this agreement, both parties
will participate in recruiting qualified teachers to teach English
at classes held at Peking University. The classes will last one
year, and student admissions across the country are scheduled to
begin in September 2009. Peking University is one of the most
prestigious and well-known universities in the People's Republic of
China. It boasts first-class quality education and is well-reputed
among students all over the country. Its Foreign Language College
is one of the earliest and most famous colleges in English
education in China. The "Practical Oral English Training Project"
will utilize English teachers from North America and will provide
original English materials and an English-only environment to
ensure students' mastery of the English language within one year.
The course will satisfy students' needs for exposure to an overseas
education and an international business environment. In the
People's Republic of China, it is a common occurrence for people
who have studied English for many years to still be unable to carry
a simple conversation in English, thus coining the term "Muted
English." The main reasons for this are the lack of native
English-speaking teachers, original English materials and an
English-only environment. Since the embarking in the field of
teaching foreign languages, China Education Alliance, as a leading
provider of educational resources, has insisted on practical
English education by hiring North American teachers, using original
English materials, providing an English-only teaching environment
and setting "practicalness" as its goal. Besides having English as
the sole language in classes, students are encouraged to use
English at all times. Through constant communication and forming
thought processes in English, students are able to achieve equal
fluency in both English and Chinese in a short period of time. That
is the uniqueness of the Company's approach in teaching a foreign
language. "The co-operation with the Foreign Language College of
Peking University will strengthen our Company's influence in
English education in the People's Republic of China and will
promote our Company's brand name," said Mr. Xiqun Yu, Chief
Executive Officer of China Education. "This collaboration supports
our goal of providing high-quality, practical English education in
the People's Republic of China." About China Education Alliance,
