This project, completed for Golden International English (GIE) in Hangzhou, China, developed methods to assess the English proficiency of Chinese white-collar workers, as well as recommend effective English as a Foreign Language pedagogies. Through a survey, interviews, direct observations, and a literature review we were able to identify best practice pedagogical methods for GIE to implement as well as develop an online test for assessing English proficiency. We recommended uses for the test and changes that are needed in GIE’s teaching guide.
