We use the Natural Approach to second-language instruction,
which helps encourage spontaneous, non-threatening, and
meaningful communication among students.
The key to learning a second language is to imitate the way that
children learned their first language -- through listening, positive
reinforcement, and meaningful and effective communication -- all
in a non-threatening environment. Students in Early Language
Learners classes are encouraged to take linguistic risks, be
vulnerable, and use their intuition.
Just as when they learned their first language, students will pass
through relatively passive stages of learning in which their
responses initially consist of physical reactions and simple
utterances and gradually evolve to the generation of complete,
grammatical sentences.
In the Early Language Learners program, our numerous
activities, lessons and units all work together to maximize the
students' willingness to communicate while providing a
language-rich environment.
