Helen Doron English, English language schools

Given the importance of languages, and especially English in the lives of our children, today we want to bring you closer to the methodology used by Helen Doron English centers in Spain to teach English to children from 0 to 19 years old. There are more than 80 Helen Doron centers in Spain, so surely there is one in your city.

British linguist Helen Doron was inspired more than 30 years ago by the principles of the Suzuki Method to develop her own method of teaching English. When her daughter was a young child, she realized that reading and writing were different skills from comprehension and expression. She set out to create her own methodology that would allow children to learn to speak and understand the language before they learn to read and write it, just as with learning the mother tongue.

So she designed her first course to teach English in early childhood based on the principles of positive reinforcement and repeated listening. She made a home recording of songs, rhymes and stories, and began teaching classes to children in her neighborhood in Israel. The success was brutal, the children were having fun and learning the language at the same time.

Encouraged by the success of her classes, she decided to develop her own teaching materials and train teachers with her methodology based on 4 fundamental principles, the use of excellent teaching materials and the dedication of all the teachers who make up this great family.

The 4 fundamental principles of the methodology are:

Small groups: courses are taught in groups of 4 to 8 students. This allows teachers to dedicate quality time to each student and the possibility to interact with each other. It has been proven that learning in small groups provides better results than individualized classes.

Repeated listening: passive listening to audio stories and songs at home for 15 to 25 minutes, twice a day, regularly exposes the child to English in a fun way.

Positive reinforcement: children receive a lot of positive reinforcement and enthusiasm from parents and teachers when they make progress in the language, just as they do in their native language, thus building their self-esteem and confidence.

Learning is fun: babies, children and teenagers learn and have fun in the classes, which are always dynamic and fun, even though they are very structured.

All Helen Doron teachers undergo a demanding training course to learn the methodology and gain an in-depth knowledge of the patented teaching materials. They teach with enthusiasm and pass it on to the children, who look forward to returning to the center the next day.

The teaching materials used are developed at Helen Doron English by linguistic experts, EFL experts and educational psychologists, under the direction of Helen Doron itself.

The different centers throughout Spain offer the following COURSES and PROGRAMS organized by age:

0 to 3 years – Babies ➡ Baby’s Best Start, Toddler’s Best Start, It’s a Baby Dragon
3to 6 years – Children ➡ Fun with Flupe, More Fun with Flupe

12 to 19 years – Teens ➡ Teen Talent, Teen Choices, Teen Express, Teen Success (from A2-B2).
