Second language acquisitio­n

Learning a language is about hearing it, reading it, and speaking it.

You learn about the sounds, the vocabulary and the structure by hearing it and reading it. This is how students learn their English in the traditional way, in school. They know a lot of vocabulary. They know a lot about grammar. But they cannot say it.

You internalize those knowledge into your own database by using it. Bring in action, games and activities to encourage learners to use the language they are learning. This is why enrolling your child in the English and Putonghua program in Le Beaumont is so important. Le Beaumont creates a language environment for people to interact in the target language.

Read to them, get them to read. You can do this at home. Show them movies, play them songs. You can also do this at home.

Let them play with each other in that language. You need a language environment. You need a facilitator. You need to bring your child to Le Beaumont, 2 to 3 times a week.

Costs a lot of money? You get more in return. Language is a learning tool. Your child becomes a much more confident and motivated learner. It improves the overall efficiency in learning in school.
