Droplets is based on current theories of language acquisition and ongoing research in early childhood learning and development: immersion - learners are fully engaged in an English-speaking environment; the Natural Approach - words are learned through meaningful contexts and interaction, not in isolation; Total Physical Response (TPR) - nonverbal language (gestures and movements) is used to convey meaning. Although Droplets focuses primarily on teaching English through vocabulary, it also nurtures essential skills for students' whole development through a balanced program of carefully planned activities. The breadth of Droplets' resources gives you and your young learners multiple ways of introducing, modeling and reviewing new vocabulary and language structures in different contexts.
