Dr. Bobbe Wiener, Haitian Students Curriculum Coordinator, East Ramapo School District, NY:
"The presentation is professionally executed... very effective."
Bonnie Castelluccio, Teacher, Newcomer Center at Crenshaw High School, CA:
"I was really impressed with how involved my students were. They found it enjoyable and consistently asked for more. The Hummingbird system fills a gap in their educational program, a need that had not been met. It also freed me to give students the individual attention they needed. Thank you for a teaching tool that really works."
Virginia Mendoza, Language School Administrator, English Now, Oxnard CA:
"We believe in audio-visual presentation of language instruction. Hummingbird allows us to automate the delivery of a multi-sensory, active language experience on a daily basis."
Hummingbird instructional videos and audios are non-consumable, cost-effective resources that can instruct as many as 30 students at once. These media make the teaching of phonetically accurate and fluent English speech more efficient, thereby saving time, money, and effort. Younger students enjoy the music and can easily follow the speech, while older students are challenged to achieve phonetic accuracy. Even shy students begin speaking aloud immediately. It's fun, easy and succeeds where other methods failed.
Students learn to generate English phonemes with correct placement of the mouth and tongue. Then they practice using the sounds in words, short phrases, and dialogues, all color-captioned with standard English text and pronunciation drawings. Students follow along with the actors, participating in a speak-along format that develops accurate pronunciation of all the sounds of English.
Hummingbird materials have been in development and use in our English Language Center in Los Angeles since 1988.
