The lessons focus on whole brain learning: activities that involve the different senses including ‎songs, games, crafts, dancing and movement, drama and more. Teachers take into account ‎children’s different learning styles — Visual, Auditory, and Kinaesthetic (VAK) — when planning ‎props, activities and games, and make sure each lesson consists of activities, which uses all these ‎sensory modalities. A typical lesson is dynamic, with a variety of activities and games to introduce ‎and review vocabulary and language structures, as well as unique songs with movements. Teachers ‎encourage spontaneous speaking, using full sentences and spontaneous communication in the ‎classroom.‎

What makes Helen Doron English different from other ESL programmes?‎

Children love to learn, and they love to play. Helen Doron English provides the best of both worlds—‎stories, songs, toys, games, and apps that allow children to learn through play. Helen Doron’s ‎innovative and proven methodology allows children to learn to speak and understand English ‎before learning to read and write. Our students absorb English the same way they learn their ‎mother tongue, through repeated hearing. They are exposed to the sound of the language that ‎develops the brain connections necessary to effortlessly remember what they learn. By using ‎props, games and activities, children are able to easily absorb new concepts.‎
