Helping children communicate

Our Young Learner courses have been specially developed by the British Council for Ukrainian children. They involve a balance of speaking, listening, reading and writing in communicative activities that mimic real life situations. At the British Council, children are asked to use modern English with their classmates in meaningful, enjoyable contexts that encourage them to express themselves fully. Regular practice of this helps prepare them to use English in real situations and communicate with confidence.

Course contents

Listening: songs, conversations, children's radio reports, DVDs etc.
Reading: stories, cartoons & comics, pages on the internet etc.
Writing: stories, letters, articles, posters, scripting conversations etc.
Speaking: drama and role plays, conversations, jazz chants etc.
