Language Training Centers: Factors Related to Their Success

摘要

A survey of language training centers (LTCs) in Dalian, China was conducted, to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses, or the differentiating factors, of such centers. The survey was undertaken to understand the current landscape of after-school institutes in the region, particularly those that offer training in English as a second/foreign language. The information uncovered by the research is considered beneficial not only to entrepreneurs who may wish to be involved in this industry, but also to college English majors who may wish to teach at an LTC.
