New language programs introduced this school year for students in CP and CM1 classes in France emphasize oral communication and action-based learning in elementary education. These programs aim to ensure that students reach the A1 level in English by the end of primary school, a goal that currently is only achieved by just over half of students, according to evaluations by the Ministry of National Education (DEPP). The challenge lies in helping young children develop their speaking skills, especially since English is often taught by general primary school teachers who may not be language specialists. To address this, KOKORO lingua, a French-Swiss educational technology platform, has introduced a method that uses short videos featuring young native speakers, known as Kokoro Kids, to teach language through play and everyday situations. Children learn by counting, cooking, exploring, and playing in the target language, with words linked to gestures, emotions, and real-life contexts. The method is designed to be used three to four times a week, with each session lasting only a few minutes, making it adaptable to the new curriculum's recommended structure. It is also available in Spanish, German, and French, and can be used as early as preschool. Concerns about excessive screen time are addressed by KOKORO lingua through a model of short, collective, and supervised use of digital content. The screen is used as a tool to connect students with a peer who speaks the language, not as a replacement for teachers or individual learning tools. This approach is rooted in the belief that children remember better what they experience and feel. Scientific references used by the method support the importance of exposure to sounds, repetition, and the connection between language, context, and emotion. The name KOKORO, meaning "heart" in Japanese, reflects the philosophy of learning through emotional and experiential engagement. According to a survey among teachers using the method within the Territoires Numériques Éducatifs (TNE) program, 86% note that their students speak more spontaneously, 85% observe improvement in oral expression, and 90% report a positive impact on their job satisfaction. KOKORO lingua has been selected by the Ministry of National Education as part of the TNE program, which supports educational technology in schools. It is the second most used resource among 69 available options and has the highest rate of re-subscription. Access to the method is paid, though it can be funded by local governments, schools, or families. More than 100 communes in France have chosen to fund its use in schools. The method, originally focused on English, is now also used to teach French and has been adopted in over 1,000 preschool classes in Uzbekistan with support from the French Embassy. The goal remains consistent across countries and languages: to inspire a million children to learn and connect with other languages.
