How we do it

Videos


The first lesson in each unit is all about introducing vocabulary. Joy School English does this with videos featuring kids and adults in authentic speaking situations. Target phrases and vocabulary are integrated into the videos.

Interactive video is also used to teach useful commands and actions like "raise your hand."  Kids are encouraged to use their voice to interact with the child in the video, while speech recognition technology evaluates what they say and gives appropriate feedback.

Songs


Once students become familiar with vocabulary words and phrases, they start to use them in songs. Music is widely considered one of the best ways to remember new information. Notice how the unit's target vocabulary (hand, foot, head) are used in this song.

New songs are continually introduced as students progress through the program. Children keep on practicing familiar words while being introduced to new vocabulary and more complex conversational phrases. In this song, listen for the phrases "this is my/your..." and "these are my/your...."

Authentic conversations


Daisy Chain is our interactive speaking tool that places students in real-world conversations! Kids gain conversational confidence by chatting with Miss Daisy or one of her friends. With the help of A.I. technology, students feel like they are in an authentic conversation with a real person. 

Games


Fun, interactive games give students a chance to master new skills. Activities use speech recognition technology and voice commands to encourage kids to speak. Differentiated feedback and customized pacing provide an adaptive learning experience unique to each child.

 

In games like Hear! Hear! students demonstrate their listening comprehension by listening to conversational phrases from authentic situations—such as expressing a personal preference—and selecting the corresponding image. 

 

Books


Students listen to stories which contain the target phrase and vocabulary from each unit. Animations reinforce comprehension, and while students will see the book again with text, the first time contains no text so students can focus on listening comprehension.

As students progress through Joy School English, they listen to and begin to read stories that slowly increase in complexity. In this book, students practice using phrases to express personal preferences, like "What's your favorite animal?" and "My favorite animal is a...." 

Character-building values


Universal character traits are integrated into the The Joy School English curriculum to support social and emotional learning. Songs, books, and activities incorporate values such as honesty, positivity, kindness, and self-discipline.

3 levels for deeper learning

Joy School English has three levels of spiraling content, which means the instruction is not just repeated, but each level builds on the previous one, deepening the learning. Take a  look at some examples from each of the four domains of language learning: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

"Best English Learner program we have ever purchased!! "

—Robin, Director of Fed. Programs, Lincoln County, Mississippi

“Students absolutely love the program and have been engaged from day one.”

"Students absolutely love the program and have been engaged from day one. In my 23 years in education, I have not seen such active student engagement with a virtual program. Students are speaking into their microphones, they are actively listening and participating. "

—Angela, Principal, Gadsden, New Mexico

"Teachers believe in companies and programs that teach the whole child"

“Teachers believe in companies and programs that teach the whole child, not just focus on one specific academic skill. Joy School English does this well through the emphasis on speech, but also through the character building throughout the program. The speech recognition software is next level.”

—Stephanie, Curriculum & Instruction Coordinator, Lompoc, California
