Classroom also has offices in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In 2000, Classroom established its Taiwan division in order to better meet the special needs of teachers and students there. For example, Taiwan teaches American English, rather than the British English taught in Hong Kong. Taiwan also has tests and vocabulary requirements that are somewhat different from Hong Kong. The Taiwan staff does on-the-spot research and employs Taiwanese teachers as consultants and writers. Taiwan and Hong Kong staffs work together to produce the highest quality English teaching materials that have been designed especially for the students in Taiwan. As in Hong Kong, the staff in Taiwan provides support and advice to teachers.

　Our mission is to make a meaningful contribution to practical English education in Taiwan. This is what we do in order to accomplish our mission:

• We continuously meet with teachers to learn what sorts of material they need.
• We employ Taiwanese teachers as consultants to help us present this material in ways that are best suited for instruction in Taiwan's schools.
• We employ Taiwanese teachers as writers for these materials. These writers and consultants also ensure that the Chinese-language portions of our publications fit the style of Mandarin spoken in Taiwan.
• We provide technical support and advice to teachers. This includes suggested lesson plans, demonstration teaching, and seminars.

　Then we put all of these things together to produce English teaching materials of the highest quality. After we have published a book, we then talk to the teachers who use these books in order to learn what improvements we might make in the next edition. Our efforts are a never-ending quest for excellence.
