History [ Back to top ]

ELIC traces its history to 1979, a few brief months after contact with the State Bureau of Foreign Experts was established and relations between China and the U.S. were normalized. In 1982, the first six ELIC teachers taught English in China. In 2002, over 1000 Christians served with ELIC in six different Asian countries providing English training for the summer throughout the academic year.

In 1985, ELIC introduced the China Summer Teaching Program, and the first 60 participants left North America their lives to the people of China.The China Summer Teaching Program has become a strategic component to the success of all ELIC Asia-based teaching programs. The Chinese government views this program as a key initiative: to bring the English language to young students through the training of Chinese school teachers. These teachers need on-going training to master the elements of the English language, and that’s where the Summer Teaching Program comes in. This ELIC program provides intensive English training to the Chinese English teachers through a well-written curriculum. Once the Chinese teachers complete the summer course, they are officially certified to continue teaching English for four years.

ELIC began sending summer English teachers to China's northern neighbor in 1991, with a team of ten to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia's capital city. This opportunity arose out of internal political changes within Mongolia which released the Mongolian people from Russian dominance and reliance on the Russian language. The Mongolian government turned to North America for assistance to help make English their primary second language. Since 1994, ELIC provided teachers each summer for the Mongolia Summer English Olympics, where 300 to 400 Mongolian university students were coached in a national competition of spoken English.

ELIC teachers have distinguished themselves in their personal and professional conduct to such an extent that Chinese and Mongolian officials have repeatedly requested increases in personnel and programs. Currently our China Summer Teaching Program is the only foreign program recognized across China for continuing education credit for Chinese teachers.
