Dexway Classroom Companion KIDS and Dexway Classroom Companion are the latest language courses that CAE has added to its catalog of language learning solutions. These new versions are designed to supplement face-to-face classes, becoming the best possible support for teachers. One of them is a specially designed version for children’s language lessons.

Classroom Companion Dexway KIDS

The new course has two types: a version for children up to 14 years of age and a version for students over 14 years. This is the first Dexway language course to establish a seperation by age, in addition to level, and the explanation is very simple: since it is a classroom-based course, it is necessary to tailor the course contents to the students who are taking it. Teaching adults English at an A1 level is very different from teaching it to children. When teaching English to children, it is essential to capture their attention.

Children’s language classes have their own pace and their own specific needs. Dexway Classroom Companion adapts content and materials so that children have fun while learning. Content has been adapted so that videos, images and exercises are pleasing and attractive to children, in addition to being age appropriate.

We know that educating children requires extra motivation and that classes have to be structured and programmed especially for them in order to hold their attention. That’s why Dexway Classroom Companion (and Dexway Classroom Companion KIDS) features a comprehensive accompaniment to the teacher with activities and materials that facilitate classroom tasks and increase participation inside and outside of the classroom. In addition, teachers have full freedom to modify, add or delete content, making it the core of learning.

The benefits of studying a second (or third) language at an early age are widely known. According to a study published by the National Education Association (NEA), the largest American (and global) association of professionals in the education sector, children develop better cognitive skills to multitask, they improve the understanding of their own language and it makes it easier for them to progress in other subjects, not to mention the future benefits, both personally and professionally, of speaking several languages.

 

What Characterizes Classroom Companion?

Dexway Classroom Companion is characterized as being a flexible, structured language learning solution that supports teaching in the classroom.

#2. Supplement both in and out of class

Students can access their course syllabus from any device both in and out of class. The teacher will determine when to give access to the syllabus. For children, you can provide access to extra materials such as readings or videos to help prepare for the next class or to reinforce what was taught in the previous one.

In addition, you have the possibility of seeing the course run on its powerful platform, Voluxion, which provides teachers with extra tools for monitoring classes and the center itself. It is also a multi-device course, meaning it does not require facilities or the internet to operate.
