MUZZY Teaching Programmes
The Fun Way to Teach and Learn Languages
Developed by the BBC, MUZZY is the most respected world language course for beginners and young learners in the world. Used by beginning through early intermediate learners of all ages from nursery through adults, MUZZY is successful for millions of students and teachers in over 90 countries. MUZZY's user-friendly, multimedia approach makes it possible for classroom teachers and even volunteers to successfully introduce a world language programme
MUZZY is designed in accordance with national foreign language standards. Language is presented through immersion and learning progressively builds through stages of content. MUZZY begins with an emphasis on oral participation and uses repetition and "spiraling" to grow learning. In MUZZY, words and concepts are first introduced and then reviewed again and again in many new contexts. Role play of scenes and songs is an easy and proven successful teaching technique that lends itself well to MUZZY characters and stories. This participatory technique, along with other forms of hands-on learning and thematic orientation add to enjoyment, reinforcement and language mastery.
MUZZY is for Beginners of All Ages
MUZZY is used as a core programme for nursery and primary and is able to be implemented by Classroom Teachers as a foundation programme It is also used as a preferred, thematically integrated supplement for Foreign Language and ESL Teachers. In nursery and primary years, the MUZZY Lesson Plans and Activity Masters are serve as helpful and flexible tools.
University and colleges use MUZZY in introductory language courses and as a methodology model. These upper years typically use the MUZZY Multimedia Course along with the teachers' own lesson materials.
