How can we make learning a foreign language as engaging, effective and natural as possible? The answer lies in playing. The contents learned by playing are transferred almost immediately to speech, without any difficulty: in fact, speech gets disconnected from a game situation, allowing children to master what they have learned and use it whenever they have to communicate in the L2.
Thanks to Teacher Larissa’s English Briefcase, it will be possible to learn while playing, with over 20 activities covering the most important English teaching objectives of primary school.
The briefcase contains:
