| Language Leaders provides curriculum in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Mandarin and Polish. |

Our "theme-based" curriculum is one in which during each session, students learn vocabulary and other language skills related to a particular subject matter. For every session that a child is enrolled in our program, their vocabulary and conversational skills will continue to grow and improve. Students never repeat the same subject matter. However, since ongoing reinforcement of vocabulary and concepts is essential when learning a foreign language, we do utilize reinforcement of basic concepts throughout our program.
Our curriculum meets State and National Board of Education requirements for foreign language instruction. Language Leaders teachers use TPR methods to keep students interested and motivated. Our materials include a workbook and CD for each student as well as many visual, audio and tactile aids in the classroom.
Every 10 weeks, children will receive a new workbook and CD. Our workbooks contain pronunciation guides and translations so parents can assist their children even if they don't speak the language themselves. The CD's include songs that feature vocabulary from every lesson, making the learning experience fun and effortless, which ultimately helps children retain the vocabulary they are learning in class. |
