Why choose MELS?

With the rapid advancement of technology innovations in the 21st century, there has been a surge in using electronic devices and computers in various fields. Education is of course not an exception and this is proven by the constant calls for equipping our younger generation with information and communication technology knowledge.
We, as early childhood providers firmly believe that the best seeds should be sowed at the initial stages, thus, our kindergarten believes that your children should be exposed to more interesting learning methods in order to build a stronger foundation. |
That is the very reason why we choose to use the Multimedia English Language Series (MELS) a multimedia approach in educating your children today. |

It has a competitive edge

The conventional teaching method, which is teacher-centered, hampers children's ability to learn at their own pace.
MELS on the other hand, promotes the elearning concept which enables children to learn in a more appealing, independent and proactive environment.
MELS's main aim is to strengthen the fundamental English language education by focusing on accuracy and consistency in teaching the four crucial skills; reading, listening, writing, and speaking. |
|
We have faith in it because it has an edge over other programmes.
It allows children from various backgrounds to come together under a single umbrella to be educated in a very systematic manner regardless of prior learning or existing reading capability.
Since we began employing this program, our students of different races,creed and culture have successfully participated in the system and gained invaluable benefits from it. Despite their original differences, they all share a consistent outcome - the ability to read, listen, write and speak accurate English!

A step-by-step learning process

MELS is built up from the Phonics-44 system which guides children to correctly pronounce words from as early as the age of 4.
The words used are based on research that has been proven to aid children's reading development. Our teachers do this step-by-step because we believe that a practical layout of the entire program will facilitate a more suitable and student-friendly learning pace for each and every child under our care. |
|
The multimedia provides demonstrative programs to show precise pronunciations of words, accurate writing order of the 26 individual alphobets and useful themes that children can relate to. This works undeniably well especially for those children who have difficulty paying full attention only to our teachers. With the interactive software program, children become more focused. |
|
|
|
To make lessons even more exciting, our teachers utilise and improvise the songs,rhymes and stories provided by MELS to encourage active participation from the children. This not only enables us to sustain children's constant interest but it also provides ample repetition for them to retain new information that they encounter each day in class. |

Excellent flow

My kindergarten has been using the MELS program for a while now and as long as we are in business, there is no way that my teachers and I will opt to stop subscribing to this wonderful product and services. MELS is made up of a very organised and practical teaching flow of the English language for children. This is of paramount importance as we, in the kindergarten industry certainly need to have a reliable base to help us teach children in the most effective manner. MELS is based on the Phonics-44 system but unlike conventional teaching, it uses multimedia to capture interest and attention. |
|
It allows my teachers to use the program and the books in a proper layout to gauge students' development. It is not too advanced that slower students get left behind and it is not too simple that the sharper students get bored easily. In other words, it is just perfectly right!
As we know, early childhood education is supposed to instill the four fundamental skills in children-listening, reading, writing and speaking and MELS has obviously done this for my kindergarten very successfully.
I have been able to achieve tremendous results and the changes I notice after using this program is just incredible! |

Even since adopting the MELS teaching program, I have been able to be a little more laid-back and not as stressed out as I previously was. My teachers have also been able to teach in a more motivating and healthy environment with the help of MELS.
The program itself boasts of accuracy, consistency and endless wonderful surprises in terms of the lesson variety. What impresses me most is the program provider, E-Learn Dot Com which provides continuous services and is ever-willing to aid us in any problems that we have faced before-from the very basics such as hardware or software matters to giving personal attention to our teachers. |
|
The training courses provided are really beneficial as our teachers are assured of thorough understanding of the program content as well as how to use it effectively. Not only that, for parents who are concerned about their children's learning progress, the sales and technical staff are eager to conduct briefing. This is exactly what we need and want to ensure that our younger generations are properly nurtured to bring the utmost out of their nature. |

Nature or nurture

Nature gives us our beautiful children with boundless talents. But what is nature without nurture?
In our kindergarten, we want our children to grow up in the best possible learning environment and choosing the MELS program to teach the English language is like having the right fertilizer for our young plants. MELS helps my teachers and me to provide the perfect conditioning for children by establishing a solid foundation with the language basics. We, particularly like the Phonics-44 system which consists of teaching correct and accurate pronunciations. |
|
Just imagine kids as young as four years old being able to pronounce words more precisely than many adults these days. It is not just any other program that simply teaches children A-Z like in the good old days. This one comes with useful themes that children can connect to and our teachers are able to grab and keep their attention and interest for a longer period of time with the fun-filled multimedia programs. |

Certainly a must-have

It is simply amazing how a teaching system which looks so intricate can be so user-friendly. The MELS is really a must-have for every kindergarten if we want the best for our children. It has helped my teachers and I to teach our students in the most interesting and innovative ways. This program helps us to teach in a way we would have never thought of before. The colourful and appealing multimedia attracts children's attention almost instantly it is so good that the children's attention never depletes. We have students who would even ask us to teach more than our daily lesson plan sometimes. This proves how |
|
remarkable it is especially when compared with the past when we hadn't started using MELS.
Our teachers back then practically had to force the children to stay awake and pay attention during lessons!
As for now, they are the ones making the teachers begin the lesson for the day! It's just great! Thank you, MELS! |

李玉兰 园长表示：「一切语言,语音(发音)是入门的基础。
美思英语以“看字读音法”及“整体认读”结合的方式,让幼儿在掌握阅读技巧的同时,打下坚实的语音基础,是不可多得的英语学习好材料。
幼儿在浓烈的氛围中,轻轻松松地学习“美思英语-44”,从小就开始接受标准英语语音的熏陶。孩子在铜级阶段一边唱歌,一边学习字母的发音,到了银级就初步具备了拼读的能力。一些大班的家长更反映,孩子学习到金级的课程时,甚至能把一些陌生的单词自己拼读出来,是父母和老师都非常高兴。孩子们迅速通过语音关,学习英语像学习母语一样轻松。毫不费劲地掌握汉英两门世界通用语,便是手握进入世界之门的金钥匙。」 |

用心教育下一代，从新开始！

“在传统的教学法中，大部分时间是老师在主导着小朋友，小朋友学习起来很被动，始终走不出传统教授式教学的框框；而当华英和未来之星两间幼稚园都采用美思多媒体互动英语教学课程之后，在整个教学过程中以小朋友为中心，形象生动的教具配合现代化的教学手法，让孩子在有趣和真实的环境中学习，这样老师能有更多的时间去观察和了解每一个小朋友的特质，作出针对性的调适、辅导。只有真正调动孩子主动学习的积极性，才能令孩子发挥潜能、茁壮成长。”
在当今教育电子化的趋势下，毕春燕园长的一番话颇具代表性！
