Unit Teaching Design
Subject Practice (Experimental Teaching)
Project-Based Learning
Interdisciplinary Thematic Learning

In 2021, the World Foreign Language Education Group established the Curriculum Resource Center, focusing on unit-based instructional design guided by core competencies, subject practice (experimental teaching), project-based learning, and interdisciplinary thematic learning. By leveraging unit-based learning case studies and instructional research projects, the center provides practical models and methods for transforming teaching approaches in schools. It further standardizes the fundamental requirements for curriculum development and implementation within the group, supports innovative curriculum development and distinctive program building, highlights the brand and strengths of the group’s curriculum, and promotes high-quality, in-depth school development.

Foreign Language Characteristic

We adhere to the diversified foreign language teaching model of “Strengthening English and Experimenting with Bilingualism, and Exploring Multilingualism”, prioritizing the cultivation of students’ practical and communicative abilities. We have created a foreign language specific characteristic teaching model with “activity- communication” as the core.

International Integration

We focus on holistic education, improve students’ international understanding ability, promote their social, creative, and personalized development, and cultivate their comprehensive literacy.

Curriculum System

“4+1”curriculum system

WFL Education implements the “4+1” curriculum system for regular classes in primary schools. “4” is a “4-day” subject division teaching mode that implements the national curriculum in a school-based manner, intensifying subject knowledge and concepts. “1” is an “1-day” UOI course that emphasizes on the application of what students have learnt to cultivate students' innovation literacy and practical abilities.

Junior high school implements '4+1' curriculum as well, in addition to strengthening the national curriculum, we also focus on project-based learning to cultivate students' comprehensive competencies.
