Bebop
Bebop is a 3-level pre-primary course that teaches English in a playful way. Through pairing music and movement with language practice, young learners gradually gain confidence to communicate in English.
This course uses a multi-sensory approach to teach English language skills in a way that recognises different learning styles and engages more than one sense. Bebop adopts an innovative approach to Total Physical Response (TPR) activities, by introducing systems such as American Sign Language to support children in learning vocabulary in a highly kinaesthetic way.
