English-Time uses different characters that children can identify with and treat them as their good friends, so they will become more enthusiastic to read and follow the stories. Each topic is illustrated by examples which stimulate and provide ideas for children, and encourage them to develop their creativity.
I highly recommend the English-Time program to children, parents and teachers, and I am sure anyone can get a lot of fun just by going through the materials.

"English-Time makes the learning experience fun and challenging."
I had a very refreshing experience with English-Time. Our teachers found the various interactive components very useful in stimulating the students' creativity while keeping the learning experience fun and challenging.

"English-Time improves English proficiency in reading, writing and computer skills."
Not only can English-Time quickly improve children's English proficiency in reading and writing, its real value is to teach children how to use the computer, taking English tests on the internet, looking up new information in helping themselves learn English, to reach the point where they can progress with the rest of the world by learning English.

"English-Time is developed for children learning English as a foreign language."
The biggest advantage of English-Time is that the program has been developed after a careful study on children learning English as a foreign language in Asia, in particular. While American English is used as a model, the program never insists American cultural values on the learners. Instead, they can learn English which is necessary for international communication in a step-by-step process through 'Cyberspace'. This places English-Time on the top of my list, as many other English-teaching programs merely concentrate on "Let's play in English". Therefore, I recommend English-Time to children, parents and teachers without hesitation.

"English-Time motivates children to learn English..."
"...When children are motivated, they enjoy learning. The method and topics are very stimulating and also help children develop their imagination. English-Time should be used by teachers, parents and institutes to improve the quality of English teaching. Mastering English can open many doors of opportunities for our children."
