English with Alecia
Saturdays from 10:00 - 13:00
Specialized English workshops for children aged 2-5, combining Total Physical Response (TPR) and the Montessori Language Method for natural, joyful learning. The lessons are taught using a mixture of teaching aids such as: vocabulary cards with real images, play, songs, books and real life objects.
The Method
Montessori Language Principles
We apply Montessori concept of Three-Period Lesson (Name, Recognize, Recall). This introduces new vocabulary in a structured, sequential, and sensory-rich way, ensuring order and lasting retention.
Total Physical Response (TPR)
TPR links language directly to physical action. Children listen to a command ("Jump!", "Run!"), and immediately act it out. This bypasses translation and builds immediate, deep comprehension in the brain's motor centers.
Inside the workshops
Every event we host is designed with intention, from the atmosphere we create to the way each session flows.
I: Warm-up & Order
High-energy action songs and "Stop/Go" games to establish auditory focus and routine (Grace & Courtesy).
II: Core Work Cycle
Introduction of Practical Life verbs and Sensory Language using TRP commands
IV: Conversational Bridge
Low-pressure transition from acting to speaking ("What are you doing? I am jumping.") using the Three-Period Lesson.
III: Snack & Rest
Essential break time reinforcing polite language (Please, Thank You) and quiet transition.
Phase V: Ending
Review, verbal recall of concepts, and a calm, orderly "Goodbye" routine to reinforce social skills.
