Language proficiency.
Joyfully achieved.
The World Family Method — our exclusive English Language Learning method — includes a collection of offerings, effectively working in tandem to achieve a high-level of English language proficiency for young children while ensuring there’s plenty of joy along the journey.
Our method provides the foundations of the English language, from infancy to first words to fluency. By learning the meaning of words through play and direct experience, children acquire the English language in the same way they naturally learn their native language.
The World Family Method utilizes an interactive approach to learning English. We tap into each child’s unlimited learning potential with colorful, carefully structured content in multiple media formats.
A variety of learning tools offer flexible options to fit the learning preferences of each child. Aligning cognitive and linguistic development, the World Family English system is presented on modern platforms in easy-to-understand contexts.
Learning Through Play
Children are inspired through play and empowered to unconsciously, naturally acquire the English language. No teaching in a traditional sense, no translation, no loss of interest, no prior experience necessary.
Creative, engaging input from the educational materials in Play Along! and Disney World of English combines with active output opportunities, supportive services, and unique events for World Family Club members.
The World Family Club
The World Family Club is a unique, extended language activity program, and a supportive service for parental involvement and consistent language retention.
Our club creates memorable experiences for children and families, encouraging a love for English, lifelong learning, and a shared global mindset.
Opportunities to learn, grow and succeed for children of all ages are available through World Family Club’s member services. Join the family for lifelong learning and loving the English language.
Play Along!: Step one on the journey to fluency.
Play Along! is a special learning program developed for infants and toddlers. It’s carefully designed to enable even the youngest children to begin acquiring the English language.
Play Along! uses the most authentic, natural methods possible. Children learn the meaning of words directly from their own play experiences, in the same way they naturally acquire their native language.
Designed to take advantage of the criticality period of language learning, Play Along! enables children to imitate native-speaker peers through modeling of activities in vibrant video formats. Using the program creates synaptic connections in the child’s brain, helping them to unconsciously associate their own actions with corresponding English words, phrases, and songs.
As the first step on the World Family English journey, Play Along! couples cognitive and linguistic development. The style of activities evolve as the child grows, emphasizing active, experiential learning reinforced by music, songs and visual media.
Watch, listen and Play Along! No prior knowledge of English necessary.
The road to fluency continues on with a natural, seamless progression to Disney World of English.
Disney World of English: An expansive universe of foundational learning.
The Disney World of English system features a wide range of interactive tools, platforms and features to accommodate all types of learning styles and needs. The fully-integrated learning program empowers children to watch, listen, learn and speak.
Expertly designed by World Family English linguists, the programs use the principles of natural language acquisition to inspire children to make a direct connection between the English they experience and the world around them.
Disney World of English combines linguistic development with iconic Disney characters, who play and present thousands of hours of learning in carefully structured, easy-to-understand contexts. Engaging with the content in a direct, meaning-based way, children acquire the foundations for fluency through an innate, unconscious development of actual language ability.
An entire world of flexible activities motivates and empowers young learners to learn in their own environment and style. Not mediated through the child’s first language, no translation necessary.
World Family Club: Real, shared speaking experiences.
When the fun stops, the learning stops. That’s why our series of interactive learning materials is best paired with a World Family Club membership.
