Although not as well-known as Disney, Sesame Street, which also has a deep background in the story of the characters, will be familiar to parents who know about American children's educational TV shows. Born in 1969, this American children's education brand is a household name in the field of children's education in the United States. More than 1,000 research projects provided by U.S. advanced academic assessment agencies, including leading U.S. universities such as ETS and Harvard, confirm the effectiveness of Sesame Street's educational programming. Sesame Street, which has been a huge success in children's educational TV shows, is also constantly trying to integrate its teaching methods and concepts into children's English, designing learning courses for children aged 3-12.
Sesame Street English has a total of 11 campuses in Shanghai, all of which are designed with a unified theme character image, rich colors and cute characters can deeply catch children's attention and stimulate children's enthusiasm for learning, which is very in line with the concept of entertaining and teaching children in the English enlightenment stage. Sesame Street's curriculum objectives and textbook lesson plans are set and written by linguists and child education experts, and in addition to the traditional multimedia teaching, the mother tongue immersion teaching method and the thematic situation teaching method are also quite distinctive. In addition, Sesame Street attaches great importance to the cultivation of children's phonics ability, in addition to doing the docking exercises between letters and sounds, it also integrates rhyming, combination, splitting, determining the position of sounds and other exercises into teaching, so as to cultivate children's ability to listen to and write, read and read.
The content of Sesame Street's curriculum is set according to the child's physical characteristics, and the content of the curriculum is different because the interests of children at each age are different. Early childhood (K1-K3) is suitable for children aged 3-6 years old, and primary school (P1-P6) is suitable for children aged 6-12 years old.
Sesame Street has done a good job in terms of teacher entry thresholds, all foreign teachers are from the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and Canada and other countries, and all have TELF or TESOL international teacher qualification certificates, while Chinese teachers require a bachelor's degree or above. The teaching method is a combination of Chinese and foreign teachers, and the weekly courses include 2 hours of Chinese teaching and 1 hour of foreign teacher classes, and the courses are related to each other. However, due to the large amount of time occupied by Chinese teaching classes, foreign teachers come from different countries and have different accents, so please refer to the rest of the list for parents who want to develop their children's standard American pronunciation. It is worth mentioning that some of Sesame Street's franchise stores have problems such as poor decoration and fewer teaching aids, so parents should keep their eyes open when choosing and choose a training institution with more complete facilities.
