EF eclectic methodology

EF English First's eclectic methodology focuses on building students' confidence and abilities to communicate in English. Our approach to teaching and learning integrates the notion that students learn in different ways, therefore it incorporates a wide range of activities, tasks, and teaching methodologies that are designed to create an enjoyable, motivating, and engaging atmosphere.

Efekta™ English learning system

Our advanced Efekta System uses an integrated approach and a wide range of teaching methods and media types. Language is assimilated at an optimum rate through interactive songs, story videos, fun classroom activities and project work. The course follows our 'Learning to Learn' concept which seeks to encourage students' natural cognitive development and prepare them for school.

iLAB online English learning platform

iLAB consists of two parts: Practice & Play and Parent Pages.

"Practice & Play" system - To bring the Small Stars World home, we have developed a unique online Practice & Play system that features visual songs, story videos and special tasks for students. Your child can practice learning English with you at home and also complete specially assigned homework. Children learn best with their parents' encouragement and support.

"Parents Page" - Through Parents Page, parents could regularly get kids' individual classroom feedback, English study tips, EF school news and activities.

Life Club for young learners

Our Small Stars World Life Club takes young learners on special social adventures outside the typical classroom setting. The specially designed Life Club Stage, TV studio, Challenge and Discovery Wall bring students into the real world and make the learning and communication fun, interesting and, most importantly, useful.

Exceptional preschool English teachers

Most of our teachers obtain two internationally recognized certificates. They also have to be cheerful people to be able to make kids more enthusiastic in learning English and speak English without worry. In our face-to-face small class, we ensure that every child will receive enough individual attention of teachers.
