When learning a language the needs of children have priority. The children are allocated to different learning groups according to their age, their developmental level and their prior knowledge. The children can be divided into age groups of
- 3 - 6 years
- 6 - 9 years
- 9 - 12 years.
Early English - age group 3 - 6
The youngest group of learners comprises pre-school learners who for the most part cannot yet read or write. Language acquisition is therefore primarily achieved by pictures, songs and games.
English for children - age group 6 - 9
The 6-9 year-olds experience their first contact to the written language. Step by step they learn to write individual words and next to form simple sentences.
English for children and teenagers - age group 9 - 12
The third group consists of older children who thanks to their school-learning can already read and write. Depending on the level of knowledge acquired simple grammar concepts can already be clearly taught and vocabulary practise can become more intensified.
All three age groups have their own materials at their disposal that are similarly oriented to the above mentioned groups. Thanks to the differentiated allocation of groups and the didactic concepts of our playinstructors the course contents can be either simplified or extended. A variety of methods assure a varied presentation of playlessons. Concrete learning experience, interaction, songs and multisensory learning support the playful manner of getting to know the new language.
