Journal Title: Edukacja Elementarna w Teorii i Praktyce - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 1

Abstract

The Good Start Method of M. Bogdanowicz has been used in Polish education for over fifty years, bringing excellent results. This method is still in development, bringing new materials, and since 2011 there is also a version of the English teaching method called The Good Start Method for English. In the first part of this article I present a profile of M. Bogdanowicz, describing the genesis of the main goals and assumptions of the Good Start Method and presenting the structure of activities. In the second part, I focus on The Good Start Method for English, based on the Good Start Metod of teaching English and development support aimed at 5 and 6-year-old children undergoing schooling, as well as first-grade primary school students. I present the characteristics of a group of recipients and the unique nature of running language classes with children. Next, I present the goals, assumptions and structure of the method and the content of this program. Finally, I present the effects of The Good Start Method for English based on the available results of pilot studies.
