About the course

Learning is fun with the SMILE approach!

This colourful course is aimed at very young learners of English aged 5 - 7 years old. Language is acquired through play which means children learn English and have a great deal of fun at the same time!

The course is based on the SMILE approach which has been successfully tested with young learners:

	kill-orientated learning Children learn to use English confidently through listening and speaking before they are taught to read and write.
	ulti-sensory learner motivation Games and activities involving all the senses motivate children to learn.
	ntelligence-building activities The process of learning the language helps to develop children's overall intelligence.
	ong-term memory storage Music, movement, rhythm and rhyme help to fix the language in the long-term memory.
	xciting sketches, stories and games Make learning English fun!
