Novakid brings confidence and communication into the classroom with native English-speaking teachers.

Novakid, the award-winning online English as a Second Language (ESL) platform, has launched an English Speaking Practice for Schools programme designed to help schools boost communication confidence and English fluency for students. The partnership gives schools the tools they need to create creative, high-energy communication playgrounds where student confidence is transformed but within clear academic boundaries.

‍

Key highlights:

• Easy school integration: Pre-scheduled classes and automated progress reports save time for teachers and reduce admin work.
• Strong academic foundation: CEFR-aligned lessons combine grammar and vocabulary with gamification and role play to support measurable progress.
• Expert-led teaching: A select group of 100 highly qualified native English teachers ensures consistent quality and reliability.
• Boost student confidence: Group lessons turn shy learners into active speakers through debates, storytelling, and teamwork.
• Age-appropriate learning formats: Tailored sessions (25 minutes for young learners, 45 minutes for older students) keep students engaged at every stage.

“Our mission has always been to democratise English education and make it accessible to children everywhere,” says Max Azarov, CEO and co-founder of Novakid. “This product gives us the opportunity to partner with schools directly and provide educators with the tools they need to create classrooms where English comes alive.”

‍

The programme has been designed to meet the dual objectives of academic rigour and holistic development. It emphasises a CEFR-aligned approach for measurable progress within internationally recognised benchmarks for speaking, listening and reading which are validated by formative assessments. Novakid’s native English-speaking teachers use total physical response (TPR) to boost real-time communication and gamified lessons are designed by ESL specialists for age-appropriate engagement. 

‍

The programme has already been piloted successfully in Turkey and Poland, receiving exceptionally positive reviews from educators and parents alike. Hakan Akcimen, former Principal of ZNK School in Turkey, said, “We chose Novakid due to its ability to offer a programme aligned with the goals of the foundation and the school, and its ability to adapt lesson content to each child’s needs.”

An age-appropriate experience

The English Speaking Practice for Schools programme has been structured to meet the unique, specialised needs of specific age groups:  

‍

• Beginners (4–6 years old): TPR-driven with interactive speaking, listening and gesture-based games. 
• Starters (7–9 years old): designed to include interactive speaking and listening, peer interviews and role playing. This age group also benefits from thematic quests and the integration of food and clothing vocabulary with grammar. 
• Elementary: incorporates all the elements of Starters Level alongside problem-solving tasks to apply grammar and digital communication terms. 

‍

Each lesson develops practical speaking skills as teachers guide students and keep children engaged throughout. Students receive a certificate of achievement at the end of the programme, with the option for schools to add their own logo for a personalised touch. To support ongoing learning, Novakid also provides automated progress reports after each cycle, giving teachers and parents clear insights into student development without adding administrative burden.

‍

“Schools want solutions that strengthen student confidence while ensuring measurable outcomes. Our speaking practice programme does both: it gives children the courage to use their voices while meeting academic standards,” said Azarov.

Building bridges through language
