A.C.E. World Language Programs:
A.C.E. World Language Programs is committed to spreading International awareness and cultural understanding through foreign language education. A.C.E. World Language Programs incorporates cultural insights in its various curricula to achieve this goal. Our programs offer Seattle-area adults and children the opportunity to learn one or more of over 65 languages. WLP is part of A.C.E.'s committment to increasing international education and awareness, recognizing that international exchange benefits all participants. We have been instituting summer language camps throughout Washington schools for over 15 years!
Teaching methodology:
The methods we use were first established 25 years ago by Dr. Stephen Krashen, Dr. Tracy D. Terrell and Dr. James Asher. Termed "The Natural Approach" and "Total Physical Response", these methods are supported by language professionals nationwide. As recommended by Krashen, Terrell and Asher, our classes follow the natural pattern of first language acquisition. With plenty of language input from the teacher, focusing on communication instead of language form, speech will emerge naturally, when the student is ready, much as it does with children learning to speak their native language.
The Five Elements:
Our lessons are constructed around five elements: Total Physical Response activities, songs, games, crafts and culture.
1. Total physical response is fun! Children learn new vocabulary through action.
2. Music triggers memory. Songs are an integral part of the language learning process.
3. Games foster excitement and cooperation. A multitude of action-based games reinforce the target vocabulary.
4. Crafts and hands-on activities give children a sense of accomplishment. They are also an opprotunity to teach new vocabulary relating to the acts of sharing, helping, and creating.
5. Traditions, history and customs of another culture are a vital part of language learning. We introduce children to special foods, daily habits, geography and holidays in a manner that is interesting and engaging.
