Pumkin Online English Teaches Five Key Areas of English Study
Pumkin Online English teaches English step by step in the same way children learn their native language: first listening and speaking, then reading and writing. We break the English language acquisition into the five language skills shown below.
Step 1: Building English Language Vocabulary
Vocabulary is the key to a child successfully learning English. New English vocabulary is introduced in groups of 4 - 6 words a day and must be reviewed regularly by children after it has first been introduced. Pumkin Online English uses online flashcards, cartoons, videos and songs to introduce this new English vocabulary.
Step 2: Introducing English Language Sentences and Grammar
English sentence building begins once the new English vocabulary has been introduced and children can recognize, speak and are familiar with the new English vocabulary. At Pumkin Online English this is done with our online English tutorials. The newly acquired English is built up systematically and delivered to your child in English language videos, cartoons and games.
Step 3: Developing English Language Listening Comprehension with Dialogues
English language dialogues are presented to children in humorous online English video sketches. These English language sketches focus on the core English grammar while also introducing common English expressions and natural English language conversation techniques. Children are called upon to answer questions about the content of these English dialogues, and learn how to construct them as well.
Step 4: Introducing English Language Phonics and Reading
English language phonics and reading activities are structured to make learning to read English easy and fun for children. Children first learn the alphabet, then initial sounds, vowels and ending sounds, developing their English pronunciation and reading skills.
Step 5: Mastering English Language Typing and Writing
English language typing and writing activities involve typing English letters of the alphabet, phonics patterns, and finally core English vocabulary. Children can use our on-screen keyboard to type, but as they progress through the English course the children become familiar with the standard computer keyboard and learn how to type in English - a vital skill in the 21st century.
