About Us. Updated: August, 2011.

Enjoying English (International) is a company wholly owned and managed by Alan Cooper (UK) and Wang Bo (China). All our activities areunder the banner heading 'Enjoying English', which came into existence in 2,000 when I first moved to China to teach English as a second language.

I found that many problems arose, which Chinese Teachers of English (CTE's) had difficulty addressing and resolving. This was particularly the case where CTE's did not have the opportunity or benefit of teaching or studying outside China, or receiving help from natural English speakers. That is not a criticism, but due to circumstances, it is a matter of fact.

During the sunners of 2000 and 2001, with the help ofChinese friends, CTE's and students, I began to write specialist Oral English courses for college and university students, the first of which were presented at Shijiazhuang Teacher's Normal University. Since then, the scope and variety of courses has broadened to include Business Courses, and special presentations for the Armed Forces, Police and Universiities. The latest of these was launched in the summer of 2007. entitled 'Enjoying English - The Experience'.

During 2004 our first website was launched through a company in the United States, which went bust. Unfortunately, we lost all the information contained on-line, although we had copies of most of the text on paper.

A second website followed in 2006. It too folded due to technical and logistical problems. This time, we had copies of all the material we had on-line and in preparation. My manager at the time, and now my co-director, Wang Bo, hit on the idea of setting up a blog. It was seen as a temporary measure to be able to communicate information to students, and help sort out their problems. Since 2006 our Team have spent in excess of 50,000 hours preparing material, making presentations and answering student's problems.

Some critics said that it wouldn't work, but with approaching half a million in the first year, it was tremendously successful. However, it was necessary to consolidate our information, and create a more permanently strategy for the future and benefit for those we intended to help. That is an on-going process.

We have worked in schools, colleges and universities throughout China, as well as with the Police (PSB), private and state owned businesses and industry. During 2008, we worked with 'Ai-fly', a Beijing based company, preparing for the 2008 Olympics, headed by Li Yang of 'Crazy English' fame.

In 2008, I returned to the UK where my mother's health was deteriorating. Bwtewwn us, we have created the website you are now visiting. Wang Bo remains in China, where as well a managing the affairs of the Enjoying English Group, he studied post-graduate courses in Business Management, Economica, Trade & Industry, which he completed in 2009.

What drives us. As a teacher with almost 40 years experience, the single most important, satisfying and enriching factor is seeing students succeed in achieving their goals and ambitions. That is no more apparent than in China, where they are very hard-working and motivated. This is often due in part, to sacrifices their parents and family make, to pay for higher education.

Our Mission Statement says that... 'Our aim is to make comprehensive and varied learning experiences free and accesible to young people and teachers of English as a second language, throughout China and around the world, in a way that is interesting, vibrant and entertaining, that it may enhance their educational and career opportunities.'

That's a bit of a mouthful. To put it in a nut shell, we offer quality help and advice to students and teachers. Our primary aim is to increase educational and career opportunities for young people. We attempt to achieve this in 4 ways.

1. The website offers advice to students directly and provides opportunities to search an extensive range of information and help through World Wide Webs and our sponsors. Sections are clearly defined, and visitors should be able to find information quickly and easily.

2. The Student Helpline collects, correlates and answers student's problems.

3. A number of publications are in preparation. The first is 'Enjoying English - Problems Solved', completed and awaiting a publisher. It is extracted in 4 parts under 'Enjoying English'. Publishers should e-mailthrough the link above

People.

We are immensely fortunate to have a Team of highly experienced professional people who can contribute their expertise to help young people. They usually offer their services free of charge, claiming only moderate expenses.

Details of The Team may be found elsewhere. Our proposed expansion will, I hope, encourage input from writers and correspondents around the world, further broadening their own and others experiences.

And finally...

We wish to thank the people who have encouraged us in the past; made suggestions, criticisms and submitted contributions. We are particularly indebted to our Lawyers: CMLO - Peter Jiang (Beijing), EMD Law (St Leonards-on-Sea - Business), Langdon Stiles & Coles (Hastings - Charity), Barclays Bank and Bank of China, The EU Commission, Companies House (UK), The Charity Commission (UK), Business Links (UK), Company Formations 247 (UK), Hotfrog (UK) and Daily Internet Services Ltd of Nottingham (UK).

To achieve our goals and be successful, we need continuing support from everyone.

Alan Cooper & Wang Bo.
