Exploring new horizons: 5 ideas to help your children learn English
At Grupo Academia Internacional, we believe in a comprehensive approach to learning, and a fundamental part of that philosophy is the adoption of a bilingual methodology. We undertake the task of helping your children learn English not only as an additional skill but as an essential tool to explore and understand the increasingly interconnected world around them. Through our comprehensive bilingual methodology, we aim not only to teach a language but to nurture the cognitive and personal growth of each little learner.
Assisting your children in learning a second language will not only broaden their professional opportunities beyond the classroom but also foster their cognitive development and communication skills. Here are five practical ideas to support English learning in your little leaders:
Interactive educational games:
Introduce your children to educational games in English. Applications and online games designed to learn vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation interactively and playfully. These games will keep your children entertained while naturally absorbing the language.
Bilingual reading sessions:
Reading is a powerful tool for language learning. Opt for bilingual books that present stories in both English and their native language. Shared reading sessions provide constant exposure to the language and allow children to associate words and phrases contextually.
English songs and rhymes:
Music is a valuable resource for learning English. Incorporate English songs and rhymes into daily routines. Look for songs with simple and catchy lyrics so your children can sing and memorize vocabulary in a fun way. Repetition through music effectively reinforces learning.
Being in a bilingual school:
Enrolling your children in a bilingual school is not just an educational decision but an investment in their future. At Grupo Academia Internacional, we understand that a bilingual school can make a significant difference in the growth and success of your children. Here are some reasons why it's easier to learn English in a multicultural environment:
Active and Interactive Learning: In our English classes, active participation is key. Through games, hands-on activities, and dynamic exercises, students immerse themselves in the language in a playful way. This not only facilitates learning but also provides them with tools to apply what they've learned in real-world situations.
Development of Communication Skills: We encourage a communicative approach in our classes, where students practice oral expression, listening comprehension, and interaction in English consistently. This gives them the confidence to communicate effectively in different contexts.
Cultural Contextualization: Learning English goes beyond words; it includes understanding the culture surrounding the language. Our classes incorporate cultural elements through activities, music, movies, and celebrations that enrich the learning experience.
Incorporation of Technology: We creatively leverage technology to make English learning even more exciting. Interactive games, educational apps, and multimedia resources complement lessons, providing a modern and engaging approach.
Daily English conversations:
Encourage daily conversations in English at home. Set specific times of the day to exclusively speak in English. They can be moments like dinner or specific activities. This constant immersion reinforces confidence and fluency in language use.
Conclusion:
Learning English doesn't have to be overwhelming; on the contrary, it can be an exciting journey full of discoveries and fun. By incorporating these ideas into daily routines, you will be providing your children with the necessary tools to become skilled bilingual communicators.
At Grupo Academia Internacional, we embrace the idea that learning extends beyond classrooms, reaching every corner of daily life. Our bilingual methodology and active learning approach intertwine to provide your children with a solid foundation in the English language, cultivating their love for exploration and knowledge.
Together, we work to build a bridge toward new linguistic and cognitive horizons, preparing your little explorers for a future full of opportunities. Get our comprehensive bilingual educational program and become part of our multicultural community—a community that shapes global citizens.
