Program
Kids
The course offers students the opportunity to learn English in an active and creative way through exposure to real communication situations, thereby privileging the learning experience through the stimulation of the senses. The course addresses the characteristics of the child’s age, language level, ways of learning, and types of motivation through the use of strategies to introduce new vocabulary, practice, and reinforce what they have learned.
Levels
This course has a total of 12 levels that will be developed according to
the hourly intensity for this age group, distributed in 9 classes for a total
of 40 hours
Ages: 7 to 8 years old.
Program
Pre-Teenagers
The lessons focus on communicative language teaching. It emphasizes language acquisition through meaningful learning situations that adjust knowledge to the development of skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking. At the end of the course, students will be able to understand sentences and expressions related to areas of immediate relevance: they will be able to communicate in simple daily tasks that require a direct and simple exchange of information on familiar aspects; they will also be able to describe in simple terms aspects of their background, environment and aspects in areas of immediate need.
Levels
The Institute distributes the A1 and A2 levels according to the hourly intensity for this age group.
Ages: 9 to 11 years old.
Program
Teenagers
This program presents an age-appropriate approach, including current topics. It provides students with a series of cognitive strategies that lead them to become independent learners. Each level includes the completion of meaningful classroom projects where students put into practice the vocabulary learned, through the preparation and presentation of situations that involve the use of communicative skills. Teaching processes focus on what the learner can actually do with the language in a specific situation.
