Why Conventional Programs FailConventional systems, which emphasize analytical reasoning and grammar, fail to retain the

interest of young students, who may not have enough knowledge of the language to begin with. Moreover, these programs do not provide suf�cient support materials for teachers—integrated, multi-format materials that enable them to progressively build their lessons over time to develop the required language pro�ciency in their students.

Why GrapeSEED Is So Successful Only GrapeSEED offers:

The GrapeSEED AdvantageGrapeSEED has been developed because conventional

English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) programs are not designed for early childhood education and do not teach English in the way children naturally learn a new language.

GrapeSEED leverages and builds on a child-centered, functional-notional language learning structure—one that requires no grammatical or analytical thinking, yet allows students to meet academic objectives that are more advanced than those that conventional programs can achieve.

With cutting-edge curricula and entertaining teaching materials, GrapeSEED makes English language learning not only possible, but fun! GrapeSEED works wonders… while students play!
