reallyenglish, supporting English education in Asia since 2002, enjoys a top reputation for high-quality English-language contents developed specifically for learners in local markets, efficient content development systems and consulting, and integrated classroom-based training.
Our aim is "to have people learn the living, real, English currently used in the English-speaking world" by offering a wide variety of courses, starting with Practical English and courses to aid preparation for standardized tests, such as the TOEIC® test. In addition, reallyenglish provides Business English and English for Special Purposes, including IT English, Medical English, and Financial English. We offer and support blended courses, with experienced teachers and trainers to complement our self-study courses. Finally, we make tailor-made courses and educational systems matched to the needs of partner and customer organizations.
Our customers include:
- Corporations wishing to improve employees' English skills
- Corporations and publishers who already have their own educational materials and want to create bespoke online content
- Language schools, high schools and universities wanting to offer online ELT to students
- Individual learners wishing to improve their English skills
Flexible approach
reallyenglish offers a highly flexible service. Instead of deploying the same contents for each client, we can create a customized course suited to the needs and level of the learner/client organization. We can offer solutions on corporate LANs, on CDs for offline use, in printed books and so on. We can offer self-study courses or a variety of blended options. We develop and offer tailormade courses best suited to the needs and goals of each learner/client.
Powerful administration and support system
reallyenglish offers clients a powerful online administration and support system. Administrators and teachers can access student study records through the internet at any time and use the system to send encouraging emails to students – particularly useful for in-house corporate education programs. Further, regular personal emails from a reallyenglish tutor help each student get the most from, and complete, the course.
Continuous course development
English is a living thing, constantly changing and developing. We keep pace with these changes, and constantly develop and improve our courses, by listening carefully to the feedback we receive from our users. To date we have received more than 120,000 feedback responses from learners. We greatly value suggestions from our partner organizations as well.
Affordability
All our self-study courses are available through the internet, running off our own servers. Since we do our own hosting, we can respond flexibly to the needs of our clients as well as keeping operating costs low. This makes us extremely cost competitive compared to more traditional media, including CDs, cassettes and books.
High completion rates
reallyenglish course completion rates exceed 70-80%. These are considerably higher than completion rates obtained by standard e-learning providers, and are in fact continuing to climb. We believe this is due to the impressive usability and high-quality of our contents, the personal mentoring each student receives, and also to the instant feedback given users, which encourages students as they make progress.
Fun and motivating
With e-learning, learners don't have to come prepared with a textbook, dictionary or even paper and pen – they can start studying with one click. At reallyenglish we believe that study should be fun too and, accordingly, we've introduced many game-style activities. What's more, as soon as learners complete an activity, they can see their results and receive motivating feedback, allowing them to develop and maintain specific, realistic goals. All these factors help to maintain high enjoyment and motivation.
Good relationships between teacher and student
reallyenglish places great importance upon the relationship and co-operation between the teachers who develop the content and the students. Students can send feedback and comments online directly after taking each lesson, and these suggestions and comments can be quickly implemented or acted upon. We also regularly check upon the progress of our students, sending them reports and encouraging them to continue studying.
