Vivid English Club is designed to be a second home for students, faculty, and staff; so, VEC has adopted a pedagogy that is fairly alien to traditional Chinese pedagogy. English-language learning is an exchange of information. Students are not expected to act as sponges that passively soak up new vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. This archaic teaching method produces mute students whose speaking, listening, and writing immensely lag behind reading ability¡ªcounterproductive when the goal of language learning is to communicate in a foreign tongue.

Many American Education Research Institutions have found it detrimental for ESL students¡¯ development if teacher-student ratios exceed 1:15. Based on such research, VEC caps its regular classes at twelve students to a single teacher.

As 67.2% of all native English speakers come from the United States of America, VEC¡¯s curriculum focuses on American English; however, it does familiarize students with British English.
