About Us.

Enjoying English (International) Limited
(Company Registration Number: 06654907, Company's House, Cardiff, UK) is a company, wholly owned and managed by Alan Cooper (UK) and Wang Bo (China). All our activities are under the banner heading of 'Enjoying English' which came into existence in 2000, when I first moved to China to teach English as a second language.

I found that many problems arose, which Chinese Teachers of English (CTE's) had difficulties addressing and resolving. This was particularly the case where CTE's did not have the opportunity or benefit of teaching or studying outside China, or receiving help from natural English speakers. That is not a criticism, but due to circumstances, it is a matter of fact.

During the summers of 2000 and 2001, with the help of Chinese friends, CTE's and students, I began to write specialist Oral English courses for college and university students, the first of which were presented at Shijiazhuang Teacher's Normal University. Since then, the scope and variety of courses has broadened to include Business Courses and Special Presentations for Universities. The latest of these was launched in the summer of 2007, entitled 'Enjoying English - The Experience'.

During 2004 our first website was launched through a company in the United States, which went bust. Unfortunately, we lost all the information contained on-line, although we had copies of most of the text on paper.

I
t was followed by the launch of a second website, during 2006; it too has folded due to technical and logistic problems. This time, we had copies of all the material we had on-line and in preparation.

My manager at the time, and now my Co-Director, Wang Bo, hit on the idea of setting up the 'Enjoying English Blog'. It was seen as a temporary measure to be able to communicate information to students and help sort out their problems. Since July, 2006, we have spent around 50,000 hours preparing material, making presentations and answering students problems.

With approaching half a million visitors in the first year, It has been tremendously successful; but it is necessary to consolidate our information, and create a more permanent strategy for the future and benefit of those we intended to help. We now receive a staggering 2 million visitors a month on the two main websites: www.enjoyingenglish2008.org and www.enjoyingenglish.info

We have worked in schools, colleges and universities throughout China, as well as with the police (PSB), private and state-owned businesses and industry. During 2008, we worked with 'Ai-fly', a Beijing based company, preparing for the Olympic Volunteers Programme, headed by Li Yang of 'Crazy English' fame.

In May 2008, I returned to the UK as a temporary measure, to create the new website for China and south-east Asia, and developed the secondd website during 2009. Wang Bo remains in China, where as well as managing the activities of the Enjoying English Group, he also studied a post-graduate course in Business Management, Economics, Trade & Industry, which he completed in the summer of 2009. He now lives in Guangzhou.

What drives us. As a teacher with almost 40 years experience, the single most important, satisfying and enriching factor is seeing students succeed in achieving their goals and ambitions. That is no more apparent than in China, where they are very hard-working and motivated. This is often due in part, to sacrifices their parents and family make, to pay for higher education.

Our Mission Statement says that... 'Our aim is to make comprehensive and varied learning experiences free and accesible to young people and teachers of English as a second language, throughout China and around the world, in a way that is interesting, vibrant and entertaining, that it may enhance their educational and career opportunities.'

That's a bit of a mouthful. To put it in a nut shell, we offer quality help and advice to students and teachers. Our primary aim is to increase educational and career opportunities for young people. We attempt to achieve this in 4 ways.

1. The website offers advice to students directly and provides opportunities to search an extensive range of information and help through World Wide Webs and our sponsors. Sections are clearly defined, and visitors should be able to find information quickly and easily.

2. The Student Helpline collects, correlates and answers student's problems.

3. Red Dragon Partnership Initiative & Experience provide the opportunity for people, corporations and other organisations around the world, to contribute towards achieving our aims, and financing the various programmes.

4. A number of publications are in preparation. The first is 'Enjoying English - Problems Solved', completed and awaiting a publisher. It is extracted in 4 parts under 'Enjoying English'. Publishers should e-mailthrough the link above

People.
We are immensely fortunate to have a Team of highly experienced professional people who contribute their expertise to help young people. They usually offer their services free of charge, claiming only moderate expenses.

Details of The Team may be found elsewhere. Our proposed expansion will, we hope, encourage input from writers and correspondents around the world, further broadening their own and others experiences.

And finally...

We wish to thank the people who have encouraged us in the past; made suggestions, criticisms and submitted contributions. We are particularly indebted to our Lawyers: CMLO - Peter Jiang (Beijing), EMD Law (St Leonards-on-Sea - Business), Langdon Stiles & Coles (Hastings - Charity), Barclays Bank and Bank of China, The EU Commission, Companies House (UK), The Charity Commission (UK), Business Links (UK), Company Formations 247 (UK), Hotfrog (UK) and Daily Internet Services Ltd of Nottingham (UK).

To achieve our goals and be successful, we need continuing support.

Update: 2011.01.15.

Hello and Welcome! We've got off to a great start to the New Year. Hundreds of thousands of students and teachers from around the world, using English as a second language, continue to visit our websites every week.

In addition to last week's additions, we have some exciting new features of general interest. A photo-file of Haiti one year on appears on 'News & Weather'. Another disaster is reported about the terrible flooding in Queensland, Australia, accompanied by an inter-active map.

A light-hearted look at Love & Sex appears on 'Advice-line', alongside a conrtoversial article about getting married.. On a more serious note, are two extensive features on 'Food & Health'. A critical report on 'The World's Broken Promises' concerning Haiti appears on 'World News'; and there is an interesting feature obout 'The Ghost Towns of China' on 'China News'. There are also important new websites from Oxford University Press on 'EdWebs' and 'Teachers Info'.

'Special Features' spot-lights an extensive interview with billionaire Donald Trump focusing on the secrets of his success. If nothing else, we hope it proves inspiring and offer you encouragement.

We are expanding our coverage of facilities, exhibitions etc., in London on 'info'. If there are things you want to know which we are not covering, please contact us through the 'info' e-mail link at the top of this page.

A number of improvements and changes to our business are taking place behind the scenes. Two new profile website pages have been opened for information for visitors. One is www.enjoyingenglish.co.uk outlining details of The Enjoying English Group. Another is a more concise disclosure of our business activities. More about that next time.

Meanwhile, we look forward to receiving your comments, as always.
