English Inspired by the Helen Doron English Method
In our children's group, English lessons are taught in a way that is fun, natural, and age-appropriate for children. We draw inspiration from the internationally recognized Helen Doron English methodology, which is based on the principle of natural language acquisition—similar to how children learn their native language.
How the Lessons Work
Children encounter English in everyday situations as well as during special activities—such as games, singing, arts and crafts, or physical activities. Lessons are conducted in a playful manner and follow the "listen—understand—repeat" principle, which aligns with a child's natural developmental pace.
We learn through:
songs and rhymes, which help develop pronunciation and the rhythm of the language,
games and movement, which help children connect words with actions,
pictures, colors, and stories, which support comprehension,and repetition in a natural context, where English becomes a normal part of the day.
Why the Method Works
The Helen Doron method is based on the principles of a child's linguistic and psychological development. Children learn a language through listening, emotions, and repetition—not through translation or rote memorization. As a result, they acquire natural pronunciation, vocabulary, and a basic understanding of sentences from an early age.
Key principles of the method that we also apply in our teaching:
- children learn without pressure or evaluation, in a safe atmosphere,
- the joy of learning and active participation are important,
- language is perceived holistically—through hearing, movement, and emotions,
- repetition takes place subtly through various games and situations.
Benefits for Children
natural development of pronunciation and listening skills
expansion of vocabulary without translation
strengthening of memory, concentration, and self-confidence
development of a feel for language and the ability to understand a foreign language
a positive attitude toward languages and learning in general
Our Philosophy
We believe that children learn a foreign language best when it is part of a joyful experience. That is why English in our children's group is naturally integrated into everyday activities—movement, play, music, and creative expression.
Our goal is not to drill vocabulary, but to create an environment in which children hear, experience, and use English with joy. This gives them a solid foundation on which they can easily build later in school.
