“Children are prepared to learn languages just as birds are programmed to sing or migrate, or spiders to weave their webs.
David Marsh (from "Teaching with Foreign Languages")
It is essential for the acquisition of a second language that content and language are developed with confidence.
Striving for a balance between communication and linguistic perfection, which should develop gradually according to age and competence, is important. Integration involves accepting all varieties of languages.
That’s why it’s important to acknowledge the reality of the various varieties of English (British, American, Australian, European…).
“GOLA The Toy Library” is based on dual content-language teaching, focusing on progressive language learning. Grammatical structures should be appropriate to the context in which learning takes place to ensure proper understanding. This, combined with a relaxed and natural environment, enhances motivation and content retention.
In general terms, the content is developed within an annual program based on the prior selection of stories adapted to various groups of students aged between 3 and 12 years. The planning must be tailored to the characteristics of the students and their abilities.
