American Language Village (ALV) is an international enterprise. For ensuring teaching quality, it starts to cooperate with American Education University. The goals of the camp are to help students develop functional proficiency in listening and speaking the English language and to help students develop positive attitudes toward themselves as English speakers and toward representatives of the English-speaking linguistic community.
For giving students a better learning environment, ALV camp set up an English Speaking Resort where they can live, dine, and speak English every day. ALV also sets up a headquarters in Thailand, Bangkok and are planning another English Speaking Resort in Vietnam in year 2011.
In our activity-centered immersion program, we encourage students to work at their own pace, and by self-motivation. Children have the opportunity to use the language due to physical interaction with their peers. Language learning takes place most effectively when put in meaningful, interesting, and important situations. Children will acquire a better understanding of English as they become involved in projects which they enjoy. They will acquire the language naturally, without focus on grammar rules. The most important aspect of this activity-centered immersion program is that the students learn according to their "learning style and rate." Students not only are in classes with speakers of English, but also they live, dine and share their lives with them all day long. |
