I would like to tell you that this site is really a treasure for those who need help in their research papers on English and linguistics. I hope you go on and never stop sharing your knowledge with us -- SCHEILLA 2/2001.
Welcome to S&K
Schütz & Kanomata is a Language Living-Learning Center (LLLC) bringing together people interested in the English language and culture.
For the Brazilian learner of English, an LLLC provides the unique opportunity to interact with foreigners and develop their linguistic abilities without the need to travel abroad. For the foreign learner, an LLLC provides accommodations, training, and a Brazilian language and culture program that includes Portuguese lessons and weekend cultural trips.
LLLCs are authentic environments of the target language and culture. They work like cultural exchange programs abroad and provide natural language acquisition.
Program to attain bilingualism before or during elementary school. Morning and afternoon schedules
The benefits of bilingualism are indisputable. It is also well accepted among researchers that the earlier, the easier and better one can acquire an additional language. This unique window of opportunity for cognitive development beginning at the age of 2 cannot be missed.
At this age, the auditory and articulatory systems are unsurpassed. The child has a unique ability to hear and reproduce accurately the language they are exposed to. The contact with native speakers provides the necessary input to enrich the child’s ability to pronounce the sounds of both languages without any interference. They will internalize permanently the accurate pronunciation of the target language.
Teaching Approach
The emphasis in our school is on communicative work, using learner-centered activities. We are not confined to any single method, plan, or course of lessons and books, but promote language and culture exchange through human interaction instead.
We favor language acquisition rather than language learning, as defined by Stephen Krashen in his Natural Approach. This approach is especially suitable for Brazilian learners, who are naturally very communicative and curious about foreign cultures. As opposed to some Asian countries, Brazilians’ desire to communicate is normally stronger than the fear of making mistakes and “losing face”.
ESL & PSL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
