S.L. Elementary School faced challenges with a segment of students who were struggling to keep pace in their English language learning. The school needed a curriculum that could cater to diverse learning speeds and styles while being manageable for teachers to implement.

​

Traditional EL approaches were not meeting the needs of all students, particularly those falling behind. Teachers were searching for a method to enhance English learning effectiveness and engagement, especially for grades 1 through 6.

Flora J., an innovative teacher at S.L. Elementary, introduced the StoryBox English curriculum as a trial to address these challenges.

The curriculum featured:

The StoryBox English curriculum yielded successful outcomes. Students experienced enhanced English proficiency with the new structure. The flexibility and student-centered design of the curriculum empowered learners to advance in English without the constant need for teacher-led group instructions.

Flora’s teaching methodology underwent a significant transformation with the integration of StoryBox English. Reflecting on this change, she states, “Integrating StoryBox English into my classroom has dramatically reshaped how I approach teaching. The curriculum's comprehensive nature allows me to focus my attention where it's needed most, alleviating the need for constant supplementary materials. My students are naturally developing their language skills by engaging directly with the content.

​

For my younger students in grades 1-4, we utilize the app-based activities for 30 minutes twice a week. This setup demands that I adapt my teaching to meet each student's individual needs. In our higher grades, particularly 5 and 6, we've adopted a more independent learning model. Here, I serve more as a guide, monitoring their progress and providing specific guidance when necessary.

 

I won't deny that initially, I was hesitant about deviating from traditional teaching methods. But the intuitive design and comprehensive content of StoryBox English have proven to be effective and accessible, even for educators who aren't primarily focused on teaching English. It's genuinely assisted in making both teaching and learning more dynamic and responsive to our students' needs.”
