Program
Our classes move away from the traditional school model. Instead, they include lively, engaging and interactive sessions that include everything from games and craft to stories and songs following a similar model of a Montessori school for English courses.
Here’s how the program breaks down:
- Four levels based on a ‘spiral’ topic-based syllabus, becoming more challenging as your child progresses. Each level represents a minimum of 72 hours teaching.
- Levels break down into 12 separate units. Every unit is based on a different episode of Pingu.
At each level, your child will be taught a range of new words, spellings, grammatical tips, helping to broaden their vocabulary understand the words in context. This method, in tandem with the spiral syllabus and multimedia resources, helps to confirm what’s already been learned, and encourages your child to communicate with confidence.
Pingu is a great teacher and role model
Pingu is an adorable yet adventurous penguin from the South Pole. With no set nationality, language or gender, Pingu has a unique ability to appeal to children from all over the world.
Not only does Pingu make English a fascinating subject to learn for kids, it also energizes the teaching staff and helps them share in the sense of excitement. We believe that the more fun everyone has, the more effective the learning process can be.
Every unit is based on a different episode of Pingu, which is shown in class alongside a host of learning materials that help bring the animation to life. Our classrooms, learning resources and practical activities are all based on Pingu’s colorful imaginary world. But, our results are very real.
Principles of Learning
Proven Method With Over 115 Years of Language Training Heritage
Our strong education principles are what have helped us develop a method that is recognized and respected around the world.
Engaged learning
At Pingu’s English, we use proven play-based teaching techniques to help children stay engaged with the learning process.
Our course is based on the Antarctic adventures of lovable little PinguTM. This provides a colorful and stimulating learning environment that’s fun to learn in. Pingu’s world will inspire your child’s imagination, and make sure the skills that they acquire are skills they have for life.
Unique teaching
We then use spiral learning and parental interaction to revisit and reinforce the knowledge that our children have acquired, giving them the skills and confidence they need to put what they’ve learned into action.
We focus on teaching kids English in a way that enables them to develop as people, rather than just using a simple listen and repeat method. We combine listening, speaking, writing and reading skills to give children a comprehensive knowledge base.
