Language Education for Children

Language Education for Children

In an increasingly globalized world where one has to adapt rapidly to changes, English is an essential tool which one cannot be without. Being able to communicate in English opens up many possibilities for children. At OWLS, using out proprietary method, we develop curriculum that taps into the flexible, easily adaptable, and inquisitive nature of children, to help them actualize their dreams.

Our Philosophy

OwLS Direct-Method

The Direct Method

  • All English Environment
    Instructors use only English when communicating with students. This allows children to become naturally attuned to comprehending English in English itself.
  • Human Development
    For our children who are spreading their wings in the world today, to just merely be able to use English, but lack empathy and the knowledge to behave appropriately, would not suffice.
  • Peace of Mind
    We ensure a safe environment for children and maintain constant contact with parents.

    On top of that, be believe in helping kids develop self confidence in their abilities.

Recreating the Mother Tongue acquisition process

 

It is said that the Direct Method is the most certain to recreate the natural language acquisition process. The guidance process that is adopted in the English immersion program was developed with natural language acquisition in mind.

When we look back at how we acquired the ability to use our respective mother tongues, a few things come to mind. We listened to and repeated simple rhymes or songs. When we heard different words, we grew accustomed to their sounds, and then repeated them multiple times. It was this kind of daily input / output process which helped build our Mother Tongue abilities to a point where we were able to use it naturally.

At OWLS, we believe in replicating this exact process, thus allowing children to acquire English naturally. Using our proprietary Direct Method, we develop and conduct English education programs which mimic the Mother Tongue acquisition process. This program seeks to nurture globally ready children who can speak just like native speakers at their Elementary School graduation.
