Xu Yiyang came to the electronic classroom located on the south side of the second floor. After opening the door, he turned on all the lights in the classroom.
To put it bluntly, an electronic classroom is a multimedia classroom. Traditional classroom lectures rely on a blackboard, while electronic classroom lectures rely on projections and slides.
The specifications of this classroom are larger than ordinary classrooms and appear to be very spacious.
The lighting configuration is higher than that of ordinary teachers, so it is brighter.
The matching desks and chairs are much better than the double desks in classrooms.
Xu Yiyang stood on the podium and counted. There were 10 rows of audio-visual classrooms with a total of 80 seats.
This also means that one class can accept up to 80 students in its own training class.
In addition, there is a Lenovo desktop computer and a microphone on the podium, which are connected to the speakers hanging at the four corners of the classroom.
There is a projector suspended from the ceiling in the front part of the classroom, and an old-fashioned slide projector is placed in the corner.
For Xu Yiyang, who was reborn in 2020, almost all the equipment in this electronic classroom are products of ancient times.
In his previous life, when he was doing education training, every student in the classroom had an iPad.
All the courseware, homework, and test questions of the teacher are completely interacted with the students online through the APP developed by the teacher, which is extremely convenient.
At the same time, when the teacher is giving lectures, there are high-definition cameras in the classroom for online live broadcast. Students who purchase courses online can learn remotely through the APP.
You can even do homework, exams, and even answer questions in class remotely.
However, he also knew very well that this electronic classroom seemed old to him, but in the eyes of current students and parents, it must be very advanced.
Xu Yiyang lowered his head and found a printer inside the podium, so he hurriedly turned it on together with the old computer, preparing to connect the printer and print some enrollment advertisements.
The computer system is still the ancient Windows 95. The computer is very slow, the color and resolution are also very poor, and it is very uncomfortable to watch.
Fortunately, Office 97 was installed on the computer, so Xu Yiyang opened Word and typeset himself to create a relatively simple and eye-catching enrollment advertisement.
The title of the advertisement is: Xu Yiyang’s English speaking intensive class is now open for enrollment!
The reason why we call it a surprise intensive class is to create a sense of urgency.
When parents think that other people's children may be receiving intensive training here, they may involuntarily have the illusion that their own children have fallen behind.
To put it bluntly, it is also selling anxiety in disguise, which is a kind of marketing method.
Next, comes the slogan.
"Do you want your child to speak standard and fluent English?"
"Do you want your child to be able to talk and laugh with foreigners in fluent English?"
"Xu Yiyang's English Speaking Assault Intensive Class specializes in spoken English and carries out systematic and professional assault training. The eight-day winter vacation training will make your child's speaking improve by leaps and bounds!"
Course introduction: Beginner class (for primary school students), Intermediate class (for junior high school students), Advanced class (for high school students)
Special note: The senior class does not recruit senior high school graduating students. Please prepare for the college entrance examination!
Course schedule: eight classes per period, each class is 60 minutes;
Course fee: 100 yuan per person per session;
Registration location: Electronic classroom in the experimental building of Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School;
Registration time: February 11, 1999, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.;
Class start time: Beginner class: 8:00-9:00 am on February 12th; Intermediate class: 9:30-10:30 am on February 12th; Advanced class: 11:00-12:00 am on February 12th.
Special reminder: There are only 80 places for junior, intermediate and advanced classes, so register as soon as possible!
Xu Yiyang felt that the price of one hundred yuan for eight lessons was not expensive. It was basically the current market price of after-school tutoring classes.
He still remembers that when he was in high school, off-campus cram schools usually cost 40 to 50 yuan a month, and there were only four classes a month.
Therefore, my price is not high.
In addition, I am somewhat well-known now, and being well-known means a premium. After this calculation, my training courses are still very cost-effective.
According to his plan, it is best to recruit 80 people in all three classes: junior, intermediate and advanced.
In this case, there are a total of 240 students, each of whom costs 100 yuan, which is 24,000!
It doesn't matter if you can't recruit so many students. Anyway, your training class is basically operated at zero cost. As long as students sign up, you can make money.
Even if we can only recruit a hundred students in total, we can still earn 10,000 yuan. In 1999, 10,000 yuan was a big number!
If by any chance a class has more than 80 applicants, another class will be opened.
Anyway, I only have three classes scheduled in the morning, so I can schedule the additional classes in the afternoon and evening.
However, Xu Yiyang himself was a little unsure as to how many students he could recruit.
You can only do what you should do and leave the rest to the market.
As for the preparation of course materials for speaking classes, this is not a problem at all for him.
After all, he has been doing English training for many years. Although he is not an English teacher, he has ten years of personal experience.
In the early stages of starting a business, my wife Gu Sijia personally made the teaching courseware, teaching methods and teaching entry points for the training school.
After all, she has a PhD in the UK and has a deep understanding of English teaching. Moreover, she has made many adjustments based on the actual domestic situation and local conditions to make this teaching method more scientific and effective.
At that time, Xu Yiyang had been assisting, and while assisting, he was also studying hard, so he had a very deep memory of these contents.
When Xu Yiyang started his own business in his previous life, he focused on English training in three areas:
The first section is English course tutoring for primary and secondary school students. This is based on school textbooks and is relatively simple;
The second section provides professional and targeted tutoring for students who want to study abroad and take IELTS. This section has the highest professional requirements, and with giants like New Oriental, the competition is very high;
The third section is to provide professional oral training and tutoring for various groups who want to practice speaking. This section is actually the simplest.
The goal of oral English training is not to memorize a large amount of vocabulary, grammar, and sentence patterns in a short period of time. Therefore, whether it is teaching or learning, the pace is not very tense. It is even fun to learn while playing or chatting. relatively high.
Xu Yiyang has already planned an eight-day oral lecture syllabus for the three classes of junior high school, middle school and high school. It happens that the electronic classroom has computers and projectors. Then he can also find some classic English movie discs and select some excerpts from them. The clips are used as sample teaching materials to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.
After all, the core of speaking English well is to listen more, learn more, speak more and practice more;
In addition, when teaching students oral pronunciation, we should encourage and guide them to let go of their shyness and speak out boldly.
At the same time, interact well with classmates and stimulate the classroom atmosphere so that everyone can be immersed in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
Based on Xu Yiyang’s experience, it is best to use a teaching model that focuses on entertaining and entertaining for oral English training. Not only is it easier for you to teach, it is also easier for students to learn, and the teaching effect will be better.
As long as you do this, you are basically in place.
After the enrollment advertisements were typed, Xu Yiyang directly printed dozens of them with the school's printer. He could take them with him when he left later and ride to some densely populated communities to post them.
In this way, publicity costs are saved.
Later, Xu Yiyang designed a set of student registration form templates and printed out a few for backup.
Thinking of the fact that students would need a lecture voucher after registering, Xu Yiyang designed another lecture card template.
The printed size of the lecture card template is about the same size as an ID card. Just print it out on A4 paper and then cut it.
The venue belongs to the school, the equipment belongs to the school, the printer belongs to the school, and the A4 paper also belongs to the school.
Xu Yiyang thought about it and realized that he was starting a business at zero cost!
After finishing all these, Xu Yiyang took a stack of printed A4 papers and left the school by bicycle.
But as soon as he left school, he ruined the tone of his zero-cost business and spent two yuan to buy a roll of wide tape from a roadside bookstore...
