ENGLISH AND FAIRYTALES

Discover the English language through its most fascinating fairy tales. Enjoy learning with favorite fairy tale characters who have a wonderful, uncanny talent for making a lasting impression on children of any age. Professional early childhood teachers use a variety of tools to keep them interested and active. 

This course allows young learners to explore daily English language through traditional fairy tales. Students will explore key themes and topics such as; ‘what is friendship?’ and ‘where does food come from?’, as well as human emotions and interactions.  

When children engage in stories they can travel to many places and take part in many adventures. Children will be able to fly through the skies with the lost boys from Peter Pan, work in the forest with the three little pigs, and join a tea party with the Mad Hatter.  Through fairy tales, children can meet many different characters with unique traits and abilities.
