Hello! We are the Babbling Brook Language School; THE place for young learners to get introduced to a new language. We are a passionate group of teachers who have created an online classroom environment where students feel empowered to learn, grow and develop their language skills.

We aim to make our classes as engaging, inclusive, and collaborative as possible because we believe that when students actively engage in the learning process they not only have more fun but also learn better.

OUR TEACHING METHODS & PHILOSOPHY:

Our organization has achieved Outschool's ACE educator status. You can learn more here https://teach.outschool.com/ace-framework/#:~:text=ACE%20Educator%20learning%20opportunities&text=You%20are%20never%20required%20to,participate%20in%20more%20than%20one). Our courses are designed to give students repeat exposure to the target vocabulary, sentence frames, and grammar concepts so they have plenty of opportunities to practice and master the lesson objectives. Class sizes are small so that every child in attendance has plenty of opportunities to practice the new vocabulary and build their confidence in a small class environment. We value communication over perfection because we understand that the more comfortable someone feels the more they will be inspired to speak. We correct students in a thoughtful way that encourages them to continue learning and avoid becoming discouraged. Learning any new language takes time and practice and with repeat exposure and encouragement, we know they will see success! We use a variety of tools and methods to help your child learn a new language including exaggerated facial expressions, TPR (total physical response), pictures, games, and props. Teachers are patient and speak slowly and clearly to model sentence frames, proper pronunciation and vocabulary for students.  In addition to speaking/verbal activities, some classes will utilize online tools that allow students to demonstrate their understanding in a nonverbal manner by drawing on the presentation slides or completing interactive activities. We cannot wait to meet your child in class soon!
