 Re: Is anyone familiar with the Helen Doron schools?
Hi.
I am a Helen Doron teacher in Israel.
We teach using specially designed materials aimed at young children. We also have courses for older students.
The methodology is based on much research into early childhood development and language acquisition. Just like a child naturally learns their mother tongue through repeated hearing, songs and games, we believe that they can learn English and indeed any language the same way.
Starting young means that they pick up intonation, pronunciation and grammar structures without realising it.
Singing, dancing and playing with the children is a lot of fun, and gives them positive associations with language and learning in general. |
