“Right now is an important moment in the UK, because languages will be introduced in primary school. And by 2010, all of the languages will be part of the primary curriculum. All the children will have a chance to choose a language, and to be able to learn through the language, about the culture of the country. It is a crucial time – really crucial. I couldn’t imagine a better time to do [the MUZZY Language Courses],” says Ernestina M., a member of the committee to implement the language mandate.
“MUZZY is an extremely good tool. All the students enjoy the scenes and characters, the suspenseful and humorous story line and colorful images to explore. MUZZY reinforces vocabulary, speaking and understanding.
“It allows students to verify how much they know. But also it makes them feel comfortable, because MUZZY follows a spiral methodology, whereby things are introduced gradually, and they’re reinforced little by little. And this is a normal and natural way of learning. We live in a global world where we cannot expect to speak only one language. I think MUZZY is THE program to use!” |
