It uses Guided Total Immersion( GTI), and immerses the learner in a world of English. This is the best way to learn a language, just as we did our mother tongue.

It uses the Fun Learning approach with stories, games, activities, songs, and other forms of play, to accomplish its learning goals.

All the material in LCE is graded and fully integrated, so that English is first understood, then practiced, and then reused, ensuring complete mastery.
