In the UK, most of MECS teachers are university
teachers and native speakers of Chinese. MECS teachers
have taught Chinese language and culture classes at all
levels to individuals, businesses, media and organisations
including government departments and financial institutions.
Mr Su Liqun, the principal of MECS, is an established
Chinese language specialist, humanist, writer and playwright.
He has published a variety of books including 'Chinese
For Everyone', 'Contemporary Chinese Fiction' (Picador,
Macmillan); and 'TDR, The Dao of Chinese Grammar'
Elementary Book. He also is the major writer of the BBC
Mandarin Language Program which was broadcast in European
countries in 2004. Mr. Liqun Su is well known as having
been the main Mandarin teacher at the School of Oriental
and African Studies of the University of London between
1987 and 2007. For over 20 years Mr Su has taught Chinese
language and culture classes at SOAS to individuals, businesses
and organisations, including MOD, Foreign Office, British
Council and financial institutions.
The introduction of Chinese character of TDR is written
by Dr Zhou Shoujin, who holds a Doctorate in the
History of the Chinese Language and is now Associate Professor
at the college of Chinese Language Studies, Peking University.
Some of the exercise sections of TDR are written by
Dr Song Lianyi (Linguistics and Intonation), a Lecturer
at SOAS with a doctorate in Linguistics who was formerly
Chairman of the British Chinese Language Teaching Seminar.
In order to help students develop a better sense of what
life in China is really like, and to give them the chance
to put their language skills to practical use, MECS has
established a number of Language Environmental Points(LEP)
including ones in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Suzhou.
If you are visiting these areas, tutors from the LEPs
can accompany you and guide you. all the Language Tutors
come with our personal recommendation. All tuition in
China takes place in Chinese, so that the students may
learn to speak Chinese with confidence in real-life situations.
