Target material is integrated throughout the domains
Research clearly shows that to effectively learn target vocabulary in another language, it must be in a context that students understand and can relate to. In Joy School, all language taught in the program is contextualized.
Additionally, the target material is leveraged by integrating it throughout the language domains. Whether it's in a story, or a game, or an introduction to vocabulary, the target language is used and multiple domains are utilized which in turn is self-reinforcing.
The chart above illustrates that every Joy School unit consists of six lessons, and each lesson contains at least five activities (a book, a song, a game, etc). And whether it's Speaking, or Listening, or Vocabulary, or Literacy—each lesson integrates these separate domains, giving the students opportunities to experience language learning in a more authentic and holistic way.
