THE MY CLASS
METHOD™
Play with Purpose. Speak with Confidence.
A developmental, game-based approach to early years English — built on
fourteen years of observing how carefully designed play changes children’s communication,
confidence, cooperation and behaviour.
Teach the group. Know the child.
Children don’t speak because we tell them to speak. They speak
because speaking helps them achieve something meaningful.
Many levels of participation
Teacher plans the progression
Child determines the pace
Same structure. Increasing challenge. Growing independence.
CollectEnglish begins before the classroom — following, choosing, taking responsibility.
Same language. New context. Deeper learning.
Recognise→
Respond→
Use→
Retrieve independently
The game is not the reward. It’s where learning becomes meaningful.
Children lean in, point, guess and negotiate — using English because it helps
them win, choose and cooperate, not because they were told to speak.
This is the MY CLASS Method in the classroom: one shared activity, many
levels of participation.
Don’t differentiate the activity. Differentiate the opportunity.
