A pure English-speaking environment is essential for children. We will raise children’s sensibility towards English through fun games and activities. The students will learn the useful words under the English-speaking culture background and encouraged to listen and speak. What’s more important is that we develop children’s mind and guide them to think with simple English, which lays a solid foundation for their future English study.
Children will experience different phases of their English learnings, including quiet period, in which children learn through quietly listening to the environment. When they are confident enough, they will start communicating with some simple words and sentences.
对于来自非英语国家的幼儿，我们的老师会给予更多的关注，以让他们在学习英语期间不会感到被忽视，最重要的是幼儿在与教师的个别互动中建立良好的关系。我们通过有趣的游戏、感知活动，提高对英语语言的敏感性，让幼儿了解英语文化背景下儿童的生活用语，培养幼儿注意倾听、积极学说、大胆开口的良好学习习惯，培养他们初步的英语口语会话、交流能力和初步运用英语进行简单思维的能力，促进儿童的发展，也为他们今后英文思维的建立奠定了良好的基础。
