Disney’s World of English©

An active learning program for children

Study shows that the sooner children are exposed to a new language; with greater ease and fluency they will be able to speak it.  It was with this in mind that Lexicon developed Disney's World of English© in conjunction with Disney World and renowned Japanese professor, Shinichi Suzuki. The program is actually based on the active learning system developed by Suzuki. It maximizes children's natural learning ability by exposing them to language learning at an early age—the time when they are most receptive. Kids will love learning to speak, read, and write English as they play, sing, and interact with some of Disney's most beloved characters.
