ETA4 CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
What the founders of ETA4 discovered during their time abroad was that by allowing for more diversity in teaching methods and using a variety of mediums to convey lessons to their students, the response was much more positive. Students paid better attention, became more involved, and generally enjoyed their time in the classroom more. ETA4 uses this concept of a diverse curriculum to create a well-rounded learning environment for the student. We have divided the curriculum into three distinct, yet overlapping sections to maintain this diversity: Academics, Athletics, and Arts. Read more about each using the links below.
ETA4 is different than a lot of orgs that teach English; with ETA4, there is no set curriculum for day-to-day activities. Each teacher is given a large database of activities, games, worksheets, songs, plays, movies, and lessons, but it is up to them how they utilize their resources. It is this flexibility that allows the teachers to use their individual gifts as well as the creativity that makes each teacher special. Our teachers are not robots, and we don't want them to be. Each class, and the lesson plan that the teacher will come up with, is specifically tailored to that teachers teaching style, creating a positive and successful learning environment for the student.
