Learning English via fun and games

Our Very Young Learner courses have been specially developed by the British Council for young Ukrainian children. At the British Council, Very Young Learners are 'immersed' in an English language environment; our courses involve a balance of speaking, listening, reading and writing, which the children experience through a program of fun games and activities that expose them to the language. This helps them learn naturally, at their own pace, and communicate with increasing confidence.

Course contents

Listening: songs, stories, conversations, DVDs etc.
Reading: stories, cartoons, instructions for craftwork etc.
Writing: stories, letters, cards, descriptions, posters etc.
Speaking: drama, asking questions, songs and chants etc.
