DOTS, Prejunior, Junior and Teen Programs
DOTS First English (1-5 yrs old)
DOTS First English has been designed by inlingua for children from non-English speaking homes. Children acquire language skills naturally and easily by listening and speaking. With DOTS First English, the learning process of the English language becomes associated with fun. The DOTS First English program is for toddlers (1-2 yrs old) and preschoolers (3-5 yrs old). Each program is compatible with the cognitive development of its age group. In class, the children are the focal point. They act, sing, say rhymes and interact with the material.
General Objectives
DOTS First English promotes a faster and more effective learning process than other methods. Upon completion of the DOTS First English program, every child should be able to:
- Understand the message coming from English texts (rhymes, chants, songs, stories, etc.) and English speech (descriptions, instructions, directions, errands, etc.) that are meaningful to children and related both to the topics presented and the classroom interaction.
- Use both verbal and non-verbal resources (signs, pointing, gestures, glances, mime, etc.) to convey messages.
- Take part in conversations that arise in the classroom regarding routines and activities, according to the characteristics of each age group.
- Show interest and curiosity in the foreign language and develop positive attitudes towards the different uses of the language.
- Acknowledge linguistic diversity and realize that languages and the different ways they are used, satisfy the need of communication between people.
