“I want my child to be able to express their own ideas in English.”
online English debate program for elementary and junior high school students, designed for families who share this wish.
Instead of rote memorization of English conversation phrases, students work with familiar, real-life themes set for each lesson. Before class, they build background knowledge on the topic; during class, they think about their own opinions, organize their ideas, and practice expressing them to others again and again. Little by little, they gain the confidence to speak up in English.
