Young children are fascinated with a natural enthusiasm for language. The boundaries between a first language and a second or subsequent language are not firmly established and therefore children are receptive and open to exploring a language other than their mother tongue.
This course is a comprehensive and an integrated English Language series that features multiple components :
A. Listening
B. Speaking
C. Reading
D. Writing
These components work together to strengthen the basic language skills. By combining these four elements into a challenging ang engaging course, students will learn how to carry out substantive conversations (depending on their age group and skill level), phonetically match phonemes with words, understand the linkage between what they hear and the spelling of unfamiliar words, read aloud words or phrases properly, comprehend the meanings behind short stories or poems, write descriptive sentences, and develop an interest towards basic grammatical structures. Using an interactive approach towards teaching English will ensure that students are having fun while they learn.
Educational games are also integrated in this course in order to enhance the learning experience. Students will be encouraged to think on their own and to answer questions independently.
Learning English as a second language in early childhood years should continue to provide opportunities for both language practice and language use. Examples of language practice tasks appropriate at this phase of development include rehearsed role play, cloze exercises and a variety of drills and language games. |
