The Spoken English Promotion Project (SEPP) at Zhejiang Gongshang (business and technology) University (ZJGSU), Hangzhou, China, began in 2001 as a method to help students improve their competitive abilities in the career and professional development areas. Chinese students at ZJGSU are divided into 4-member or 6-member groups and are required to practice spoken English on given topics of mutual interest among them for 30 minutes a day outside of class. During these sessions English Conversational Teaching Assistants work with the students to help improve their English conversational skills.
