Introduction

My Little Island is a three-level pre-primary course that starts children on their journey of learning English! Children will be inspired to learn with engaging characters and fun activities.

The key features of the course are:

• Child-centered themes develop the cognitive, emotional, and social skills of the whole learner.
• Links to daily life through useful vocabulary, language, values, and cross-curricular connections immerse students in English.
• Guided communication, fun characters, and engaging stories motivate children to listen, speak, and start reading and writing English more than ever before.

Total Physical Response (TPR): Children learn to attach meaning to the new language through TPR activities. Associating gestures with new words builds confidence and lets children move – which they like and need to do!

Rich Vocabulary Development: Each unit’s target vocabulary is presented in a scene, along with a thematic song accompanied by meaningful gestures and actions. The vocabulary lesson presents target vocabulary with real-life photographs that help reinforce the language.
Motivating Stories: Children look at and listen to a picture story, which presents one new language structure. This prepares them for reading stories with simple text later in the program.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL): My Little Island introduces children to new skills, such as simple math that is practiced through numbers and counting, and provides even more opportunities to practice new vocabulary, listening and speaking.
