Core Curriculum by Learning Group
Young Learners (Ages 5–11): Play-Based & Visual
Focus: Phonics, basic vocabulary (colors, animals, numbers), simple instructions, and building comfort with speaking.
Methodology: Total Physical Response (TPR), songs, visual flashcards, storybook reading, and interactive games.
Sample Activity: "Simon Says" for action verbs, or matching animal sounds to picture cards.
Teens (Ages 12–17): Contextual & Interactive
Focus: Conversational foundations, daily routines, social media/tech vocabulary, school topics, and basic sentence construction.
Methodology: Group tasks, media-based prompts (popular music, video clips), role-playing everyday scenarios, and gamified quizzes.
Sample Activity: Designing a simple social media profile in English or scripting a 1-minute conversation between two friends.
Adults (Ages 18+): Practical & Goal-Oriented
Focus: Everyday survival English, workplace communication, travel, asking for directions, and immediate functional grammar.
Methodology: Real-world simulations, practical dialogues, task-based learning, and minimal abstract grammar jargon.
Sample Activity: Mock ordering at a restaurant, booking a hotel room, or practicing a 2-minute self-introduction for job networking.
Universal Progression Model (4 Stages for Any Age)
Stage 1: Everyday Basics
Target: Greetings, numbers, personal identification, and basic self-introductions.
Stage 2: Immediate World
Target: Family, home items, daily schedules, hobbies, and simple Present Tense (I work, I play, I like).
Stage 3: Navigating Society
Target: Shopping, food, location/directions, time, and basic Past Tense (Yesterday I went...).
Stage 4: Expressing Ideas
Target: Future plans (I am going to...), basic opinions (I think... because...), and simple storytelling.
