What is the Bilingual Future?

It is a universal program that gives every child the opportunity to be bilingual and enjoy the benefits of bilingualism.

Children who start life bilingual can solve problems better and faster because their brains are open to new ideas.

ECONOMIC GROWTH

A bilingual working population provides greater economic growth.

CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING

Bilingual children grow into more resilient, culturally inclusive adults.

PRESENTATION OF THE BI-LANGUAGE FUTURE PROGRAM

The Bilingual Future Program works with publisher Yellow House English to produce teaching and learning materials. Yellow House English specializes in English for children from birth to ten years old. Author, composer, and language teaching methodologist Claire Selby wrote the Universal Preschool Course at the heart of the Bilingual Future Programme.

HOW IS THE BI-LANGUAGE FUTURE PROGRAM OFFERED?

The Bilingual Future Program has teamed up with publisher Yellow House English to develop a unique course for children to learn English from birth to the end of preschool, called the Universal Preschool Course. It is prepared in four versions:

The standard version presents the language to students on behalf of the teacher; therefore, the role of the classroom teacher is to manage activities that support language learning. There is a PLUS version for qualified English teachers that encourages interactive language use, an Expert version for bilingual schools, and an Easy Access version for use by caregivers of children with learning disabilities. This makes the Program a truly universal learning opportunity for everyone.

In addition, the Program creates a teacher training plan designed to help teachers progress through professional development from the Standard course to the PLUS course, thereby benefiting teachers and students.
