Unique Language Teaching Method

Lango has developed a unique approach to teaching kids languages called Adventure Learning™. At the core of our classes are "challenges" that students complete in order to experience new vocabulary and grammar through art, movement, playacting and basic conversation. Initially, these challenges are quite simple, but as students are able to grasp more complex instructions given in Spanish, they become problem-solving exercises that our students feel very proud to overcome.

Lango's instructional method combines the practices of three key approaches to teaching new languages to kids: Total Physical Response (TPR), The Rassias Method and the theory of Multiple Intelligences.

Employing Total Physical Response, we expose children to the target language and offer them a variety of ways to respond before actually speaking it. This mimics the way that children learn language naturally. The Rassias Method exposes learners to the language in a variety of ways, and in an active, even dramatic environment. Finally, the Multiple Intelligences theory suggests that learners acquire new information in a variety of ways, whether through quantitative, verbal, auditory, visual or other means.

With this approach at the root of how we teach kids, we make sure that in every class our students are given many different ways to acquire and understand new sounds and concepts.
