EDI Consulting Inc.
Education Services
The field of education offers enormous opportunities for cooperation between China and Canada. With its accession to the WTO in November 2001, and its being awarded the 2008 Olympic Games, China is accelerating its development and intends to become one of the leading economies in the world. To achieve this objective, China has an immediate need for upgraded English Language training for its people. EDI Consulting Inc., in consultation with educational institutions in China, as well as in cooperation with the government authorities in China and their representatives in Canada, has identified Canadian educational organizations that are capable of delivering English Language Training Programs using modern teaching methodologies. EDI Consulting Inc., in cooperation with accredited and recognized Canadian educational institutions, would like to provide these programs to schools and educational institutions in China.
The EDI program gives schools in China the opportunity to offer their students all of the benefits of world-class Canadian English language programs while still remaining in China to complete their education. This is consistent with agreements signed in China between the Canadian and Chinese governments promising increased cooperation in the field of education. The EDI program is supported by the Government of the Province of Alberta, the Alberta Government Ministry of Education, as well as a number of boards of education and educational institutions in Alberta. The EDI program is recognized as the only one of its kind in Canada, and it offers both participating schools and students a clear path from English language study in China to post-secondary education in Canada.
The EDI Program
The EDI Consulting Inc. program consists of the following:
 A number of concrete programs offering anywhere from 20 weeks up to 2 years of study in English in China, with the option of continued study in Canada.
 Methodologies guaranteed to improve students' abilities in both oral and written English
 Introduction of students to the geography and culture of Western Canada
 Opportunities for practice in dealing with Mathematical problem solving in English
 Preparation for students to pursue further studies that can lead to the successful completion of Canadian matriculation examinations in Canada. Successful completion of these exams will lead to entrance into university or college in Canada.
 For elementary schools EDI offers a program that will bring children's reading and writing ability up to comparable Canadian levels in two years.
Benefits to the Students
