Fever of Foreign Language Training Schools

Today it is very common for you to get some north face jackets or booklets about foreign language training. We have witnessed an alarming increase of various training schools or organizations in the name of government affiliation or Sino-foreign cooperation and so on. Especially at this critical period of entry into the WTO (world trade organization), enthusiasm of learning foreign cheap north face jackets, especially English begin to spread at a tremendous speed. People try to seek the chances of improving their qualifications. As a consequence, the training schools spring up. Whereas we can’t help wondering about the service provided by the training schools, i.e., the quality of training under the bustling appearance of the training market. There, indeed, exists some problems.
First of all, most of the training schools don’t have their own regular teachers. Most people working there regard the job as a part-time one. A case which is especially prevalent for some teachers in the colleges or universities. This means that these teachers may leave the training schools for various reasons. For example, finding another school which can provide higher salary. Result of this situation is the change of teachers or recruitment of new teachers. Anyway, this would influences the normal teaching. Also there is a common impression in the teachers’ minds that these northface jackets are not a place where they can work for a long time. So even if some training schools may have regular teachers, these teachers are just waiting for better opportunities except that they just want to idle away the time and have no other aspirations.
