Our instructors are specialists in the field of foreign language education. They are fluent in the target language and have a background in education. Our most widely used teaching methods are TPR (total physical response) based. The TPR method is highly effective at the beginning level and a standard requirement in the instruction of young learners. It is also a method that is accessible to a wide range of teachers and learning environments. Our methods involve a substantial amount of listening and comprehension in combination with various "physical responses" well before the learner begins to use the language orally. They also focus on the ideas that learning should be as fun and "stress-free" as possible and that it should be dynamic through the use of physical activities such as games, songs, role-playing and many other hands-on activities. The TPR method of language teaching capitalizes on the way children naturally learn language. It involves direct conceptual teaching of language using a series of inter-connected sentences that are simple and easy to perceive because the language being used can be directly related to whatever the speaker is doing at the time of immediate utterance (i.e., the actions and language match each other)
