English in pre-school and primary education

Do you teach young children between 3 and 8 years old (even up to 9)?

If yes, you will know, because you see it daily, the extraordinary potential of children during these years. They have the ability to naturally and intuitively assimilate things, when conditions are optimal.

Depending on the country and the level, teachers are repeatedly asked to teach their pupils or to awaken their pupils’ interest in English.

Oftentimes, teachers are not always trained or supported in this process, and it is complicated to implement English languages courses in their classroom. Choosing a course, missing material or occasionally not having the budget available may impede this.

Time is often short, and English can come second to other subjects that may be considered more “important”.

Games, activities and a simple method to learn English
in pre-school and primary school

Each week, new classes join the KOKORO lingua program.

SIMPLE: Everything is ready! Choose a time and watch the video via an internet link, 3 to 5 times a week. For the older children, teaching aids are also available that include printable activities.

FAST: Only 2 minutes to set up and present the theme for the week, and then it’s time for the 10-minute video.

EFFECTIVE: Evaluations have shown excellent results, both in memorisation and in the pleasure associated with learning.

A MOMENT OF PLEASURE: Without any constraints or expectations, this becomes a time to be shared with the pupils, as the testimonies show.

Teachers and school directors give their opinion

Parents are enthusiastic. Our school has always been open to innovative projects. The strength of the Kokoro concept is its fun aspect. There is no pressure for results, nothing is asked of the students, except to enjoy watching these videos.

Isabelle Antal, Director of the Neuchâtel school

It’s brilliant! Pupils are delighted and ask to see the video again and again. Teaching becomes a real pleasure again when you see the excitement and joy it brings.

Christiane, teacher

We are very satisfied with this adventure. The sessions are very well designed; we appreciate the pace of the activities. It creates a pleasant routine for both the children and us. A school day needs KOKORO!
