Language Arts: Aims at achieving higher levels of knowledge of the language at task, such as oral and written comprehension, vocabulary building, structure mastery, and writing for children with potential skills in his/her native language, but who needs to develop them.
Foreign Languages: This program allows children to develop the structure of a foreign language, as well as communication skills. They learn to speak the language and to understand the meaning of words in context.
Multiple School Subject Tutoring: Aims at enhancing the child's academic performance in general. We work with your childin particular school subjects where he/she requires help. Examples of areas where children commonly improve after a few tutoring sessions are: language arts, foreign languages, math, music, social sciences, and biology among others.
TOEFL, SAT, FCAT, and Other Test Preparations: The TOEFL Test Preparation Program aims at preparing international students who need to take the TOEFL test, which U.S. colleges and universities mandate. The program has two main objectives: First, it will provide a comprehensive review of areas such as structure and written expression, and listening and reading comprehension. Second, it provides an overview of the exam and test-taking strategies, as well as exhaustive practice of sample TOEFL tests.

SPANISH SUMMER CAMP METHODOLOGY
Language classes represent a major aspect of our camp. We believe that by exposing the child to the broad environment that the knowledge of a second language and other cultures bring about, he/she is provided with a gift that is an advantage for life, given the global environment in which today's children will live tomorrow. Other camp activities reinforce language acquisition. Language classes are based on the Natural Approach Theory which assumes that language is acquired by comprehensible input rather that by traditional grammar and vocabulary lectures. The comprehensible input calls for the incorporation of stimuli representing the different levels of language acquisition; thus avoiding boredom, lack of self-steem, or high anxiety about speaking the new language. Fluency results from a progression of four natural stages of language acquisition that resembles the same steps children follow when they learn their first language:
Reproduction: Children do not speak the language at all. Non-verbal responses are prompted.
Early Production: Children are just beginning to speak. One word responses are prompted.
Speech Emergence: Children put together short sentences.
Intermediate Fluency: Children communicate in longer, more complex forms of expression.
The way to engage children is by practically surrounding them with the new language through multi-sensory techniques (visual, auditory, and physical practice), so they can perceive through all their senses. They will be most motivated when they can see, hear, say, and feel the language. This is what we do at Lingua: we apply multi-sensory techniques so that they not only learn in their personal style but also feel thrilled about it. In this way, language acquisition evolves naturally.
