Why Learning English Through Creativity and Play Matters. These creative workshops are designed for children aged 8-12 to explore English fun and imaginatively. By blending English learning with creative activities like storytelling, art, and play, children can express themselves more freely, build confidence, and develop a lasting love for the language. Creative engagement helps children connect with words and concepts, making learning more intuitive and memorable.
