The program is designed based on experience, research, and standards. The Joy School English team has been building educational software for more than 20 years and includes many of the same team that built the most successful English-teaching program in the United States.
While Joy School English also teaches literacy, speaking and listening in a new language are more difficult to learn than reading, so Joy School English deliberately places a strategic emphasis on oral language. Children acquire the sound patterns of language better than adults. The earlier they learn to speak, the more confidently they can communicate and connect. .
In Joy School English, learning is contextualized and language domains are tightly integrated. To effectively learn vocabulary in a new language, it must be in a context that students understand and can relate to. By integrating the target material throughout all the domains, information moves from working memory to long-term memory.
Joy School English includes universal values that will help students be successful in all aspects of their lives. These values are interwoven throughout books, videos, and even taught explicitly in values activities.
Joy School English gives kids an irresistibly engaging experience. It incorporates proven principles of game-based learning and motivational psychology to create a fun and rewarding experience for young learners.
