Using Mother Tongue
The authors o f K ids’ English believe that English is best learned
through English so we expect the teacher to use English as much as
possible in the classroom .
O f course there are some instances where pupils will need explana
tion or clarification in their m other tongue. However, we hope that
teachers w ill try to resist the tem ptation to translate everything.
Research has shown that pupils learn more effe ctiv e ly i f they are
encouraged to work out meaning fo r themselves.

of Kids’ English?

eral principles o f K ids’ English: i) im m ersion; ii) listening precedes
