What makes a Huddle English FAL lesson different?
Every lesson is built around how real South African classrooms work.
Designed to build strong foundations.
Our lessons are designed to re-visit foundations such as parts of speech to set them up for success.
A focus on creativity and curiosity.
Themes, analogies and stories of wonder that bring English to life in an interesting way.
Lots of questions to check for understanding as you go
There's a difference between 'I taught it' and 'they learned it'. Our questions help you see when you might need to slow down or repeat a section.
Regular routines to encourage vocabulary
Learners deepen their understanding of English through features such as the Vocab vault, regular spelling tests and a reading log. Important words are always explained.
Builds confidence
Language is positive and encouraging and learners are challenged but supported. Our lessons build over time as learners grow.
