July 21, 2009

HARBIN, China, July 21 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ — China Education
Alliance, Inc. (NYSE Amex: CEU) announced today that a co-operative agreement
was officially signed with the Foreign Language College of Peking University
to jointly collaborate on the research and development, promotion and running
of a “Practical Oral English Training Project.” Under this agreement, both
parties will participate in recruiting qualified teachers to teach English at
classes held at Peking University. The classes will last one year, and student
admissions across the country are scheduled to begin in September 2009.

Peking University is one of the most prestigious and well-known
universities in the People’s Republic of China. It boasts first-class quality
education and is well-reputed among students all over the country. Its Foreign
Language College is one of the earliest and most famous colleges in English
education in China. The “Practical Oral English Training Project” will utilize
English teachers from North America and will provide original English
materials and an English-only environment to ensure students’ mastery of the
English language within one year. The course will satisfy students’ needs for
exposure to an overseas education and an international business environment.

In the People’s Republic of China, it is a common occurrence for people
who have studied English for many years to still be unable to carry a simple
conversation in English, thus coining the term “Muted English.” The main
reasons for this are the lack of native English-speaking teachers, original
English materials and an English-only environment.

Since the embarking in the field of teaching foreign languages, China
Education Alliance, as a leading provider of educational resources, has
insisted on practical English education by hiring North American teachers,
using original English materials, providing an English-only teaching
environment and setting “practicalness” as its goal. Besides having English as
the sole language in classes, students are encouraged to use English at all
times. Through constant communication and forming thought processes in English,
students are able to achieve equal fluency in both English and Chinese in a
short period of time. That is the uniqueness of the Company’s approach in
teaching a foreign language.

“The co-operation with the Foreign Language College of Peking University
will strengthen our Company’s influence in English education in the People’s
Republic of China
and will promote our Company’s brand name,” said Mr. Xiqun
Yu
, Chief Executive Officer of China Education. “This collaboration supports
our goal of providing high-quality, practical English education in the
People’s Republic of China
.”
