We support children in learning English at Engel day-care centres
Nowadays, children begin to learn foreign languages at a younger and younger age, and for good reason! Young children have a natural interest in different languages, which creates an excellent foundation for learning a new language at an early age.
Language enrichment activities
Engel day-care centres support children in learning English at a young age in a playful and child-centred manner! One of the tools we use for language-enriched activities is the Kippin Early Language Learning material, which helps young children to learn a language without realising it through functional play, games, and songs.
Kippin Early Language Learning
Kippin material’s engaging memory cues, flash cards and activity boards provide strong image support to accelerate children’s understanding of the English language and develop their expression skills. And what’s more, every child can use them to participate in the different activities – regardless of their language skills! The material is also unique in that it focuses on learning the most common words in a language, the core vocabulary. In their first year of learning English, children often learn to count and list colours, but in order to be able to use their limited vocabulary in genuine conversation, they need important key words, such as “I,” “go”, “like”, “fun”, “give”, “find” and “big”. And it’s exactly this kind of core vocabulary that the Kippin material focuses on.
Kippin material helps children to learn exactly the vocabulary they need at Engel day-care centres, all while playing and singing! A playful path to English!
