III What is Kids’ English Approach?
At the primary level learning another language must be as close 
to a natural way of learning mother tongue as possible. More than 
that learning a foreign language in Class 1 is very different from the 
rest of schooling because during this period children will learn the 
language without learning AbC, reading or writing.
Class 1 children will learn the language through actions, role 
plays, listening to stories, songs, poems and various language games.

Multimedia technologies play a very important role in achieving the 
goals.
kids’ english encourages a learner-centred approach to teaching. 
What does this mean? We feel that in the past there has been too 
much focus on the role of the teacher in the learning process and not 
enough on the learners themselves. of course teachers are very im-
portant too but research has shown that pupils learn to communicate 
more effectively if they are given frequent opportunities to practise 
and experiment with new language. so the learner-centred method-
ology used in kids’ english aims to put the pupils - the learners - at 
the centre of most things that happen in the classroom. 
For this reason kids’ english contains many activities, exercises 
and games, which encourage pupils to use the new language natu-
rally through working in pairs or in small groups.
of course teachers will still need to present new vocabulary and 
structures to their pupils, but in the learner-centred classroom they 
will also spend a lot of time organising and monitoring pair and 
group work.
