Why should you choose Kitaygorodskaya School?
Our work is based on Prof. Galina Kitaygorodskaya's method, which differs greatly from all the existing approaches to foreign language teaching.
The foreign language acquisition pattern in Kitaygorodskaya technology is in a way similar to that of the mother tongue acquired by a child. The learners start their acquaintance with a foreign language NOT with difficult grammar rules, but with real-life communication in the target language, imitating their teacher's speech and perceiving new words and phrases as speech formulas.
In Kitaygorodskaya Method communication is both the aim and the means of the learning process. The language material is presented in the form of an interactive performance specially created by Kitaygorodskaya School teachers.

How do we work?
The students are invited to take part in «acting out» an exciting play written about them and for them and "staged" by their teacher with pedagogical expertise and artistic skills. (All the teaching materials are carefully designed and selected, their contents and format providing long-term memorizing of the language.) The teachers of Kitaygorodskaya School use a wide variety of unique teaching techniques which facilitate memorizing large portions of the language material. These techniques are based on the latest brain research, concerning the concept of multiple intelligence, functioning of the left and right brain and different learning types of students.
