In Discovery in English, students not only learn daily conversational English but also engage in a variety of activities that go beyond what a typical 50-minute lesson can offer. These include unique crafts, experiments, cooking, cultural events, outdoor play at the park, and enjoying lunch or snacks with two teachers. Additionally, the program incorporates textbook-based learning to provide a well-rounded educational experience that balances hands-on activities with structured study.
Heroes Class
The Heroes Class is designed around the most effective way for children to learn language: by having fun with friends and teachers while learning in a relaxed, comfortable environment. In this class, we use GTE’s original textbooks to provide a structured learning approach that helps children build a strong foundation in English. By introducing the alphabet and phonics at an early stage, we help children become familiar with English sounds and develop reading skills naturally and smoothly. Our goal is for children to experience English as a natural and enjoyable way to express themselves, while building a solid foundation for future learning. We believe the confidence they gain over the course of a year will become a powerful driving force in their growth.
Adventurers Class
On Saturday afternoons, children can spend a full three hours immersed in English—learning, creating, speaking, and thinking. Through hands-on crafts and science experiments, they use English naturally while staying actively engaged. They also practice reading and writing in a fun way through playful “Silly Sentences,” helping them absorb English rules and patterns naturally without it feeling like traditional study.
Each lesson also shines a spotlight on a different country from around the world. Using the projector, children watch authentic videos, explore different cultures, and discover just how fascinating our world can be. After the videos, quiz time and discussion questions give them opportunities to practice speaking and sharing their ideas in English.
It’s not just play, and it’s not just study. It’s an adventurous learning experience that nurtures critical thinking, communication skills, and curiosity about the world—all through English.
