Children possess an extraordinary capacity for language acquisition. Their innate ability to learn new languages is instinctual, driven by a natural curiosity and motivation, unlike that of older learners. Cambridge English: Young Learners is a thoughtfully crafted series of English language assessments, tailored specifically to children in primary and lower-secondary education. The series encompasses three interactive, skill-based tests: Starters, Movers, and Flyers, each designed to provide a clear and progressive path for language development.

Whether your child is embarking on their first steps in learning English or you seek to give them a head start before formal education, our program offers an ideal foundation.

At Helvetic Institute, we focus on enabling your child to communicate fluently and confidently in English. Our innovative approach ensures that they master grammar and vocabulary effortlessly, developing their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills without conscious effort.

Invest in your child’s future by providing them with an opportunity to learn English in a stimulating and effective manner, laying the groundwork for academic and professional success.

What the Course Offers

  • In each lesson new English words for the topic are introduced. These words will later be used to understand the unit’s story, song and grammar item.
  • The words are then practised with interactive games and puzzles, so that the children can confidently say, understand, read and write them.
  • Some units teach more than one word group and each is presented and practised separately.

Teaching Methods

  

  •  Every unit contains a simple animated story featuring our characters. The stories show the new     language in real contexts and are also used to present the grammar item of each unit and practise the new words.
  • Follow-on activities include gap-fill activities and identification of grammatically correct sentences.

  

  • Songs are motivating and fun. They are also a very powerful learning method to help children remember the language they have learnt.
  • There is at an easy-to-learn song in each unit, plus a karaoke version.

  • New words are presented and practised in fun word games. The children learn to understand and say the words, then progress to recognising and forming the written words.
  • Word games include matching words, memory games crosswords and activities to listen and click.
  • Each unit contains three worksheets: words, grammar and letters and sounds.
