每一個孩子的學習，都是與環境不斷的互動中，揉合自身經驗，創造出全新的知識寶庫。如果提供孩子一個全美語的真實環境，搭配適合各發展階段的主題，引導孩子探索生活，會不會讓孩子享受美語，樂在學習呢? 浸潤教學x發現學習x專案教學 艾力美語堅持浸潤式教學(Immersive teaching)，以全台獨家最完整的主題課程，全新設計2018全美語暑期創客營。依照孩子認知發展階段，採用發現教學法(Discovery learning)，為孩子構築知識的鷹架，讓孩子自行嘗試、修正、再突破，美語自然而然成為探索世界的工具，與小夥伴們一起成就未來。 最激發孩子熱情的課程 全美語暑期創客營，以學生為中心，配合孩子認知發展，設計出與生活經驗結合，卻少有探索過的主題內容；加上美國頂尖大學的「專案教學」(Project-base learning)，讓孩子擁有全新學習體驗。不但全面提升英語力，激發孩子創造力和溝通力；全程高度參與的成就感，更培養孩子主動學習的精神。 最自然的語感學習 過程中，我們不強調糾正，不打斷孩子交流；孩子能自由創意發想，自信用美語表達最為重要。孩子天生都具備語言天賦，觀察、模仿、學習、使用；在孩子五感最敏感，學習能力最顛峰的時期，不要讓填鴨教學與評分系統，扼殺孩子獲得「第二母語」的機會。艾力美語要讓孩子一開始就愛上美語! 邏輯引導, 深化知識架構 全美語暑期創客營主題結合知識探索、情境模擬與創意再造。在8月暑期創客營主題之一「Movement超移動」中，外師會先適度引導孩子進入情境，認識不同動物的移動，如:劍魚能在水中高速移動、大天鵝能飛越珠穆朗瑪峰、小蜂鳥能小範圍滯空飛行、長臂猿能擺盪穿梭林間......等。接著開始腦力激盪(Brainstorm)，孩子將腦中最直覺的想法提出，有哪些移動方式?移動方式的特色為何?動物彼此的差異?環境與移動方式的關係?各式各樣的答案，在外師引導討論下，重新界定概念，利用心智地圖(Mind map)整理分類。 合作學習: 語言力、溝通力、解決力 Up 知識結構成形後，孩子們有扎實基礎，向上發展創造。全美語暑期創客營，要求孩子合作學習，與小夥伴們一起討論如何模仿動物的能力，進而開創人類移動新紀元。彼此用美語表達想法，提出可能的問題，共同思考解決方案。透過小組討論訓練孩子邏輯思考、溝通技巧、團隊合作與解決問題的能力，讓孩子現在就有未來競爭的決勝力! 活化知識，真實應用 全美語暑期創客營每一次專案，孩子們都要化身「小小賈伯斯」，將學到的知識，團隊激發的創意，真正實踐為成品；規劃自己的發表會、廣告，甚至是節目，以各種別出心裁的方式向大家傳達團隊的設計精神。反覆的研究與討論，構思與運用；聽、說、讀、寫全面自動內化，美語自然而然脫口而出!
