Thanks to the booming market in Asia, English language education has become increasingly in demand. While Chinese is the top native language in the world, English beats out any other language by a mile when it comes to foreign learners. In addition, much of that demand is for Australian English, specifically*.

The Demand

Of the estimated 50,000 English schools in China, 90% of them are private. China has a huge market for English as a second language. In fact, 70% of their parents want their children to learn English. The number of people taking the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) has grown 21% since 2001 on a year on year basis.

Even though these numbers are very promising, studies show that the majority of Chinese people learning English in Australia are doing it for academic reasons, as opposed to personal interest. This has led to campaigns to break into the untapped potential in the Chinese market and get more people interested in learning English.

How to Cater For The Larger Demand 

 

Providing a more structured and standardised version of English learning through use of learning tools, such as the online learning library that Study Space offers, would mean a more consistent success rate for ex-pat teachers who are teaching abroad.

The demand for Australian English learning has been shown to be rising, so Study Space being used as a teaching assistant would be highly beneficial as the need for English Learning increases around the globe. Our video lesson library follows the ACARA and the NESA Curriculums with each lesson being instructed by an accredited Australian teacher. Along with these customised worksheets are attached to the lessons to assist in development and of our English language.

In Closing

 

There is amazing potential for those wanting to learn the Australian version of English. It can be incredibly advantageous to learn English to advance one’s learning journey, if stakeholders could all work together to utilise solutions such as our own Study Space lesson library that would benefit both the student and teachers involved in learning the Australian English syllabus.
