Learning is fun with the SMILE approach!
This colourful two-level course is aimed at very young
learners of English aged 5 - 6 years old. Language is
acquired through play which means children learn English
and have a great deal of fun at the same time!
The course is based on the SMILE approach which has
been successfully tested with young learners:
Skill-orientated learning
Children learn to use American English confidently through
listening and speaking before they are taught to read
and write.
Multi-sensory learner motivation
Games and activities involving all the senses motivate
children to learn.
Intelligence-building activities
The process of learning the language helps to develop
children's overall intelligence.
Long-term memory storage
Music, movement, rhythm and rhyme help to fix the language
in the long-term memory.
Exciting sketches, stories and games
Make learning English fun!
Key Features
Learning English through play makes the course highly
enjoyable.
The clear Teacher's Guide allows even inexperienced
teachers to conduct lively and motivating lessons.
Children love all the fun characters, particularly Max,
the cheeky glove puppet.
Original songs, chants and rhymes make the language
memorable.
A wide range of optional components provide extra valuable
resources for teachers.
Playway to English and Join In are written by the highly
successful author team of Gunter Gerngross and Herbert
Puchta, who together have many years' experience of
teaching and writing for young learners. Their materials
draw on important findings in the fields of Neurolinguistic
Programming and Multiple Intelligences.
