  1. Zippy Deedoo English for very young learners Laura Irons Laura Rossetti

  2. Zippy Deedoo: the English Spell ‘Zippy Deedoo’ are the magic words that make the English language ‘jump out’ of the books and become the means through which children learn to communicate in English. 2 ELI s.r.l. - Zippy Deedoo

  3. What is Zippy Deedoo? Zippy Deedoo is a three-level English course, conceived to respond to the ever-growing need to teach English language to very young children in an enjoyable and effective way. 3 ELI s.r.l. - Zippy Deedoo

  4. Why is Zippy Deedoo Enjoyable? Children will enjoy the course because it is based upon the story of Zippy, a clever little dog, and his friends: Deedoo, a fun little girl, and Kabir, a sweet and wise little boy. Their adventures are familiar to children: • they can easily identify themselves with the characters and learn in a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere. 4 ELI s.r.l. - Zippy Deedoo

  5. Why is Zippy Deedoo Effective? Teachers will find the course effective because it stimulates the child’s natural language learning mechanisms, at an age in which they are still very active due to first language acquisition. 5 ELI s.r.l. - Zippy Deedoo

  6. How Does it Happen? Thanks to Zippy Deedoo’s spiral approach children learn English naturally and effectively: • it starts from the centre of the child’s experience and stimulates the gradual acquisition of more articulate language skills without losing sight of what has previously been acquired. 6 ELI s.r.l. - Zippy Deedoo

  7. Zippy Deedoo’s Objectives Zippy Deedoo is a student-centred course that aims at building on the children’s experience and emotions to encourage the learning of English as well as the development of the whole child: • language is perceived as a means of communication and not just as a set of new words and sounds. 7 ELI s.r.l. - Zippy Deedoo

  8. Zippy Deedoo’s Objectives The whole course has been carefully designed to develop and reinforce: • communication in English • linguistic and social skills, appropriate to the age range • long term memory • holistic growth of the child 8 ELI s.r.l. - Zippy Deedoo
