The goal of teaching English to 4- and 5-year-olds using the Teddy Eddie Standard course is to spark children’s interest in learning a foreign language and build their motivation. That’s why we focus on making English feel like a practical tool for everyday communication, helping 5-year-olds learn it naturally and with ease.
Four- and 5-year-olds who participate in a Teddy Eddie Standard course are introduced to several hundred English words that are presented in full sentences and meaningful contexts. Your child will not only learn these words but also start using them consciously in conversation.
They will acquire correct pronunciation and authentic English intonation. This will be all the easier and more effective as your preschooler’s speech apparatus is still very flexible.
You can also expect your child to become more confident and independent, making noticeable progress in both social development and communication skills.
At this age, it is important that learning takes place through play.
This approach makes children eager to engage and motivated to learn.
Teachers combine fun activities with a reward system to boost extrinsic motivation and encourage participation.
An English course for 4- and 5-year-olds should inspire engagement and interaction – and that’s exactly what our method delivers through fun, positive experiences and enjoyable activities like games and role-plays.
