WAY

Learning language is somewhat like collec!ng and connec!ng

dots. Here, the dots are words, which when connected

together following certain rules or pa!erns, create and convey

various meanings, ideas or concepts.

Crea!vity too, like language, is somewhat like collec!ng and

connec!ng dots. In this context, the dots are concepts or

ideas. When the concepts or ideas are modified, or connected

in different ways to other concepts, new ideas and concepts

are created.

The essence of language is the manipula$on of words while

the essence of crea$vity is the manipula$on of concepts. Given

that words are, in fact, simply labels for concepts and ideas,

the connec$on between language and crea$vity should be

rather obvious.

Intelligence is,

quite simply, our

ability to

perceive, understand, and respond to the world in and around us.

We have all acquired our own ideas of what the world is made up of, how

it works, and our place in it. These are what guide our responses. The

clearer, be!er developed and connected the ideas, the more fluent,

confident and intelligent the responses.

Language is a powerful tool for exploring, connec$ng and shaping ideas

to express our intelligence and crea!vity.

Clearly, language, intelligence and crea!vity are deeply inter-connected,

with each suppor$ng and leveraging the others. Any language learning or

mastery programme should take full considera$on of this fact.

The LINFA Method™ does that, and makes it fun at the same $me.

Underpinning The LINFA Method™ is the LINFA Framework™ which

cross-references various language skills to specific learning or

cogni$ve processes such as remembering/recognising,

understanding, applying, analysing, evalua$ng and crea$ng.

Based on the language and learning needs iden$fied through the

framework, The LINFA Method has various learning modules that

apply a combina$on of tools and techniques to meet those needs.

The majority of these modules are play and game-based and can be

used by people of all ages.

The modules are organised into 5 main groups.

Group I consists of awareness, mindfulness, and sensi$sa$on exercises;Group II makes use of LINFA learning cards;Group III makes use of marker boards or chalkboards;Group IV makes use of eXtraDICTION®, a proprietary and patented language board game;Group V are mainly tradi$onal instruc$onal approaches.

WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO MASTER THE ENGLISH

LANGUAGE AND UNLEASH THEIR INTELLIGENCE AND

CREATIVITY AT THE SAME TIME?

The LINFA Method™ is a unique and novel method of

language learning that takes advantage of the

natural connec$on between language mastery,

human intelligence, and crea!vity.
