How are the online English lessons provided by Magic Ear? Currently, there are a wide variety of exams for primary and secondary education for children, especially in English learning. In traditional methods of memorizing words and grammar, children either fail to learn English over a long period of time or end up unable to speak with foreigners. So I agree too. Let the children take Magic Ear English classes. How is the online teaching provided by Magic Ear English? How can it help improve a child’s English skills in terms of thinking in English and having a good sense for the language? Can Magic Ear English truly help children improve their English proficiency rapidly? Magic Ear Children’s English offers online English tutoring for students aged 4 to 12. All of its foreign teachers come from English-speaking countries in North America such as the United States and Canada**, unlike other institutions that use teachers from the Philippines or Spain. The program features teaching formats of 1 to 4 and 1 to 2 students per teacher. The curriculum system of Magic Ear is divided into 7 levels, which are further categorized into Level 1, Levels 2-4, and Levels 5-7, corresponding respectively to the preparatory level, basic level, and advanced level. On the official website of Magic Ear, it is claimed that the courses are aligned with the CEFR standards, but I found that they actually do not meet those standards. Firstly, the CEFR specifies that indicators for measuring language proficiency should cover the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The basic level of Magic Ear focuses on developing children’s phonetic awareness, helping them learn basic ways of describing and expressing themselves ； The advanced level focuses on developing children’s skills in listening, speaking, and reading, enabling them to use language for multi-round communication as well as to express opinions and engage in discussions. It can be seen that the entire course does not cover the aspect of “writing”; therefore, Magic English does not meet the CEFR requirements. The pricing for Magic Ear’s English courses is based on the training modules: a package of 3 modules costs 2,399 yuan, with each session costing 62.5 yuan; a package of 12 modules costs 8,699 yuan, and each session costs 53 yuan. Depending on one’s current level of English proficiency, the annual training cost ranges from 4,000 to 7,000 yuan ； However, Magic Ear offers its courses in small groups of four students; one foreign teacher teaches four students in each class. As a result, the cost per lesson at Magic Ear is not very competitive, and there is limited time for interaction between the children and the foreign teachers. How are the online English lessons provided by Magic Ear? That’s all for the introduction to Magic Ear English. As for the quality of its online courses, there are varying opinions available online. I would like to recommend Akaso English, where my child is currently studying*, so you can give it a try and make a comparison. One-on-one online classes with foreign teachers, who monitor the children’s learning in real time; the instruction is tailored to individual needs, and these foreign teachers all have extensive teaching experience. All of Akaso English’s foreign teachers come from English-speaking countries, so their accents are quite pure. Secondly, the institution uses a one-on-one teaching model with foreign teachers, and these teachers have received authoritative certification from both the British certification body Ascentis and the world’s top five accounting firms; they possess many years of teaching experience, so there is no need to worry about their accents or teaching skills. A class costs around 13 yuan, offering excellent value for money. The child has been studying at Akaso for some time, and their spoken English, knowledge of grammar, as well as listening skills are all improving continuously. The above are my personal opinions for reference only. However, the program my child is attending is really good.
