Development of Language Skills: Learning English at Our School

Why is it important to learn English?

English has long been an international tool of communication that opens up numerous opportunities in life. It is not only useful for travel and working abroad, but also for developing cognitive abilities. That’s why our school, ESTI School, has chosen a British curriculum with native-speaking teachers to make the learning process as effective and engaging as possible for children.

The Importance of Learning English

English is a key skill for modern individuals, opening new opportunities. Learning the language from an early age allows children not only to easily master grammar and vocabulary, but also to develop critical thinking and social skills. For example, knowing English enables children to communicate freely with peers from different countries and participate in international competitions and projects.

Our school offers a wide range of language courses for children of different ages (5-7 years, 7-9 years), tailored to their needs and level of preparation. The classes are held offline and consist of two parts:

• Grammar lessons with Ukrainian- and Polish-speaking teachers
• Speaking clubs with native speakers

This system allows children not only to learn new words and grammar rules, but also to practice them in conversation right away.

📚 Teaching Methods

Our teachers use the most modern teaching methods aimed at immersing children in a language environment. For example, the communicative method, which involves using the language in real-life situations, helps children quickly overcome the language barrier. The teachers are certified in teaching English and constantly improve their skills to ensure a high level of education.

💻 Use of Interactive Technologies

Interactive technologies play an important role in the learning process. We use various web platforms that gamify learning and make it more interesting for children. For example, children can review vocabulary through quizzes or watch educational videos that help them better understand different accents.

💥Practical Lessons

Practical lessons are a key component of our approach to learning English. They help reinforce the theoretical knowledge gained in class and apply it in real situations. Practice makes learning more effective and engaging, as children learn through action, not just listening or reading. Below, we have a closer look at the main types of practical lessons we offer.

🗣️Speaking Clubs

Speaking clubs are an integral part of our courses. They are led by native-speaking teachers and involve discussions on various topics that interest children. For instance, children may discuss their favourite movies, books, or travel experiences. This not only helps improve their speaking skills but also develops their ability to express their opinions.

🎭 Role-Playing Games and Situational Exercises

Role-playing games and situational exercises help children practice their language skills in real-life situations. For example, during the “Restaurant” game, children learn how to order food and engage in dialogue with the waiter. These exercises develop language abilities, enhance grammar understanding, and enrich vocabulary.

🟰 Learning Outcomes

The results of our teaching methods and approaches reflect how successfully children grasp the material and how it impacts their overall development.

✔️ Certificates and Their Recognition

Upon completing the course, children receive certificates that confirm their knowledge and skills. These certificates can be added to their personal portfolio. However, it’s important to note that our school’s certificates are not equivalent to international certificates such as IELTS or TOEFL, which are required for admission to international educational institutions. To obtain such certificates after our courses, children need to pass the corresponding international exams.

💪 Success Stories of Our Students

We are proud of our students' successes. Many of them started speaking English fluently just 2–3 months after starting our courses. Typically, children master basic phrases quickly, and after a few months, they can speak in full sentences about their needs. This confirms the effectiveness of our methods and the high quality of education.

Our language courses offer a unique opportunity for children to immerse themselves in an English-speaking environment and develop language skills. The use of modern methods and interactive technologies makes learning both interesting and effective. Practical lessons, such as speaking clubs and role-playing games, help children quickly overcome the language barrier and build confidence in communication.
