​For Children Age 3-9, to learn any language from any language!  
​Great for use in international schools, language learning schools and refugee work

Who is this for?

These lessons were used with children whose parents were attending an intense language school that was using the Growing Participator Approach language learning method and language kit.  These lessons are ideal for a language school to use to both teach English or any other language to students who do not share any common language.  If you have both German and English speaking children who are both trying to learn the same language this curriculum is designed to be able to help both groups of students learn their new language together, making this an ideal curriculum for an international school or for use in a refugee situation for teaching English.  These lessons can be used to learn any language for children ages 3-9.  

How does it work?

You, as a facilitator of the class, prepare materials each week for a one-hour class (can be divided into two or three shorter, more frequent sessions) where you coach a native speaker of the language in activities and games which engage every child's learning styles. Emphasis is on listening before speaking, and most of the activities use the Total Physical Response method.
