Description
About the Program and the Instructor
This program is designed for all who love exciting games and want to experience English in action. We believe the best way to get comfortable with a foreign language is to become part of a story. Children will dive into the team strategic game Space Knights, where English becomes a natural tool for planning, cooperation, and solving unexpected challenges. During thrilling moments, shyness disappears and the language becomes the key to victory.
The program will be led by instructor Sebastian (Seb), who specializes in teaching English through complex games. His approach is based on the belief that by implementing team strategy and experiencing epic game moments, children acquire language naturally and effortlessly. He creates an environment where communication is both necessary and fun.
