Case studies of how to choose a English teacher for DSE.
By taking two popular groups in HK namely Kingsglory education and Beacon college to analyze the manipulation behind the culture , looking into Kelly Mok and Louise Page respectively.
Picking those as subject is because they were marketed by the sane mediascape - TVB.
Both of their commercials have a range of Bilingual features such as code mixing and code switching.
I would like to point out It is a kind of inter referencing by borrowing the TVB Pearls' reliability to enhance its authenticity;while the competitor of Kingsglory , Louise under beacon, shows a high frequent of code switching in a sport video, which is so funny because the video merged business elements in the second part. At 02:18, "Unlease Your language Power" the slogan can be also found in【2014精讀系列】- Louise Page at 01:26.
Apart from times of code switching to flex her muscle, adding slogan , one of the clues is that the it focus on her job for over one minute on a 2 mins 40s length video. The picture I uploaded speak all.Louise tries to use societal Bilingualism against Professionalism of Kelly.
All of the above video reaffirmed how to use Bilingual features to make a fortune.
some may argue that, the clip from Kelly was peppered by TVB pearl and has nothing to do with the institution. Nonetheless, the action that the video was posted on its websites exposed the attempt of using the clip as an advertisement.
Why the beacon does not post the sport video on the profile of Louise Page? one of the answer could be lack of business efficiency. With control of the desire of its reception - target oriented approach, the net surfer on the page tend to admire the English more then Chinese if they are going to look for an English tutor.
The marketing strategy not only covers its shortage but also a well planned war with bilingual features .For instance, if one got a master in chemistry ,which do not correspond to the subject teaches English ,all it will show is a English Master but it seldom clarify what kinds of master belongs to his ,and being shown on an Ad.

To sum up,even though the similar institution with in a region , the bilingual features could differ.
