What is Dreamland ECO English

What we do?

Dreamland has a unique approach to the teaching of English as a second language. Our students are constantly immersed in an English curriculum that requires them to use their senses and newly learnt skills. Through hands-on learning, repetition, and cooperative group work, our students are always engaged with in-class and outdoor activities that give them vital life skills and the ability to speak a second language naturally. This style has been proven to be effective and long lasting as students acquire language in a natural environment, which is guided by English teaching professionals.

Why we do it?

Giving students the freedom to be creative offers them the act of self-expression through a medium that they can relate to. Creativity is a platform where all children are able to communicate their thoughts and ideas. We implement the Finnish “Espoo’s co-creation model” and “Kagan Cooperative Learning” in our creative projects. By providing students with these co-creation-cooperative projects and experiences children can express and cope with their feelings and with each other. Creativity also fosters mental growth in children by providing opportunities for trying out new ideas, develops their problem-solving skills and gives them new ways of thinking, also helps them make relationships by accepting other’s ideas and input.
