#English Skills Development
Grammar, vocabulary, reading, and dictation are all essential skills in English! By using presentations, e-books, electronic whiteboards, and online worksheets, we help children improve their basic English abilities. From teaching verbs and nouns to present and past tenses, from simple reading passages to actual writing exercises, volunteers witness the children's growth and enthusiasm for learning.
#Say No to Rote Learning
The teaching materials are rich and diverse, incorporating short videos, music, and TV shows to expose children to Western culture. It’s not just about traditional lectures; it’s more about providing children with real experiences and expanding their horizons.
The volunteers used "online games" as the central theme, teaching game-related vocabulary and guiding the children when watching an American movie centered around "virtual reality games." Additionally, the course included grammar (simple past tense) and short passages.
The course helped develop English skills and constructed the children's foundational English abilities.
