    What Our Teachers Are Trained to Do

    Fun Languages’ great team of teachers are specifically trained to deliver results for every child, at every level.

    🗣️

    Natural Communication

    Give children the self-confidence to communicate quickly and naturally in a foreign language from their very first session.

    🎯

    Accent & Vocabulary

    Encourage a good accent and a wide, everyday vocabulary. Native and near-native speakers use the target language as much as possible.

    🎉

    Fun & Recreational

    Show children that learning a language can be recreational and fun, removing any anxiety and replacing it with excitement.

    🌏

    Cultural Awareness

    Encourage an understanding and awareness of a foreign culture. Children celebrate significant cultural events and explore differences.

    🧠

    Cognitive Benefits

    Give your child the cognitive benefits of learning another language at an early age , boosting brain power, IQ, vocabulary and numeracy skills.

    🏃

    Play-Based Immersion

    Children play games, sing songs, act out role plays and interact with each other, absorbing the new language without consciously thinking about it.

    Our Methodology

    Let’s Face It. Kids Learn Best While Having Fun!

    You can count on LCF Fun Languages to teach French, Spanish, Mandarin, Italian, English and German to children from the ages of 2 to 12 years.

    Natural Language Acquisition

    Our methodology reflects the natural process of language acquisition. Just as children acquire their first language, the same principles apply to a second language, particularly at the early stages of development.

    Children listen, repeat, speak, read and write. All components of our scheme of work are interwoven with cross-curricular themes such as maths, financial literacy, social studies, music, art, and many more.

    Our encouraging teachers look after small groups of students so we can give each child the necessary attention to soak up as much of the new language as possible.

    Communication & Cultural Understanding

    At the heart of the programme is communication and inter-cultural understanding. Students are exposed to the spoken word through a variety of activities, games, songs, role-plays and information technology.

    To promote an understanding of different cultures, children are encouraged to become independent, student-driven learners. We support them in inquiry learning , they love exploration and we are happy to “plan around” their inquisitive minds.

    The Fun Languages Curriculum also reflects the literacy requirements of the Australian curriculum. We talk about “language knowledge” with the children, looking at similarities and differences with their first language , an important foundation for future language learning.

    “My son loves his Mandarin preschool! The immersion concept has worked very well and he has bonded with his teachers beautifully. He will miss his sessions when he starts Prep next year. I know that we have set him up well for learning new languages and cultures in his early school years.”

    “The Bendigo Kids Language Club has been very accommodating. We wanted our children to learn a language that relates to their heritage and family background. Italian is not taught at any of the primary schools in Bendigo, but Sally made it happen!”
