Parent-Child Course for Early Childhood English Language Development (from age 2) as Preparation for General Professional Life
Course description
The English language is increasingly a prerequisite in the professional world, regardless of the chosen career.
Especially young children learn with an ease they will never have later in life. Therefore, it’s never too early to start getting accustomed to the English language. Everything children learn before entering school becomes part of their habitus and does not need to be trained later. As young children are primed to learn language, they absorb it naturally through play, and this does not affect their mother tongue.
Therefore, in our English language course, we don’t drill vocabulary or practice grammar, but instead, we use the immersion method. This means that the instructor consistently speaks English, fully immersing the children in the language. During activities like playing, singing, eating, painting, crafting, and rhyming, objects are named and actions described. Attractive images are used as supportive tools.
By clearly differentiating the English-speaking person from other German-speaking caregivers, the child will understand the distinction and associate languages with specific people or contexts, thus being able to learn multiple languages in parallel.
The courses are thematically structured and the activities, games & songs are selected to match the course theme. Learning content, such as colors, numbers, shapes, accompanies the children throughout all the courses. The overarching course structure is the same in all our courses, so that children can quickly find their way when switching courses or booking multiple courses.
Since language acquisition can only be achieved through continuity, the English language course is particularly aimed at those interested in participating regularly and long-term.
The course is designed to continue up to school entry, with the play and learning offerings being adjusted to the advancing age of the children.
