Linguaphone Group congratulates Kingston University for their International achievement

Linguaphone Group has developed an extensive working relationship with Kingston University, just ranked by Times Higher Education in their 150 under-50 listing. In fact, in May 2015, the Group announced plans to collaborate with the University’s School of Education to develop an international curriculum for young children using Pingu’s English – the educational and entertaining children’s franchise for language training.

This 18-month project saw participants engage in a well-planned, structured English language curriculum, supported by academic experts at the University and managers at Linguaphone Group.

This unique preschool franchise is a 3-level centre based programme for young children of 3-7+ years. It provides all the necessary resources to support early years’ practitioners in giving children the skills, knowledge and understanding they need for developmental progression through play.

Pingu’s English delivers a framework consistent with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), delivered in English, and will be released in mid 2017.

The Pingu’s English course also provides valuable lessons in socialisation, numeracy and computer skills all based on the hugely popular television character, Pingu – the mischievous, but loveable penguin – centring on his true-to-life everyday adventures in the South Pole.

Pingu’s English School is not just a school; it is as a second home for my kid. I like it when I see my kid growing and learning in a friendly and safe atmosphere. Most of all, I can see a lot of improvement in his English listening and speaking skills

Piyatida Tudteam

Student's Mother

Regarding the teaching method they use a figurative storytelling way of starting the lesson,  trying hard to involve the child and make the them curious about the situation. Tom is very happy to go to Pingu’s English because he perceives the School as a playful moment and not just as a learning moment while at the same time he is learning a new language

Veronica

Students Mother

I knew about Pingu’s English School through a friend. After research about the school, I decided to enroll my daughter and it was one of the best things I could do to her. She loves studying at Pingu’s English and she cannot wait to the day of the class. I also love Pingu's English School, because there she learns by playing and I can see her progress day by day.
