1. Definition

(1) Method + Guidance

ABCmouse Regular Program  is achieved by teaching children the learning and usage methods of platform categories, guiding children to learn independently.

(2) Accompaniment + Motivation + Persistence

ABCmouse Regular Program  is when teachers use the platform to accompany and motivate children in their learning, enabling them to apply their knowledge to similar materials. This allows for independent learning while also practicing spoken communication.

Therefore, ABCmouse Regular Program  is a new era English learning model that teaches children to use an app, with teachers as companions, and provides a spoken language practice environment to help children acquire English.

2. Learning Method

ABCmouse Regular Program  uses 'teachers guiding children to learn English alongside the platform' as its learning method.

The ABCmouse Regular Program  learning method emphasizes teacher guidance, directing children to learn English alongside the platform, rather than 'teaching.' In the latter, the teacher imparts the content of each lesson, and these two approaches have a fundamental difference. Understanding the distinction between 'companion reading' and 'teaching' can help us better comprehend the learning method of offline companion reading.

3. Principles of Class

The ABCmouse Regular Program  classroom activities primarily focus on hands-on operations and demonstrations by the students, with teachers providing guidance and oral interaction as a supplementary role. Teachers do not lead the reading as a classroom principle.

In the ABCmouse Regular Program  classroom, children take on the role of being the leaders of their learning by using the platform, while teachers serve as guides and facilitators rather than instructors or readers. Additionally, teachers create a platform for children to showcase their independent learning achievements through collective learning activities, motivating children to maintain their enthusiasm for continuous learning at home and further enhancing their independent learning capabilities.

4. Objectives

1. The objectives of early childhood education in ABCmouse Regular Program  are as follows: Early learners should be able to engage in 1-5 minutes of interactive communication in  English.

2. The term '1-5 minutes of free communication' refers to the ability of early learners to engage in 1-5 minutes of spontaneous and unrestricted English language communication with teachers, other early learners, or foreign instructors after completing preschool classes at Dadi (the institution) (the content of the communication is not limited).

3. In offline coaching activities, teachers can achieve this objective through the following three methods:

①Teacher-Student Communication: Teachers engage in oral interaction with early learners based on material content.

②Student-Student Communication: Teachers guide early learners to engage in oral interaction with each other based on material content.
