  'Early Childhood Language Education’© (Grade ‘R’) AND 'CAREER ENGLISH’© TM (Grade 1 – 12) 1. Although ‘CE’ TM is aimed at school children, it is also applicable to 'adult-learners' (Andragogy), learning English as a home- or Second language 2. ‘CE’ TM is in essence, English language training for scholars from Nursery School to Grade12 (the entire school career: Pre-Primary-, Primary and Secondary High school). The purpose of ‘CE’ TM is to train the English language to scholars, who are learning English as a foreign or second language (TESOL), although it can be profitably employed to also train English as a first or home language. The language-learning focus is via ‘Play’ or Theatre, where the child adopts a persona and then roleplays the character, while consciously and sub-consciously learning to master English. 3. ‘CE’ TM is judiciously divided into two separate components, viz.  Theoretical component, which is aimed specifically at the Language Trainer or Teacher. Aspects addressed herein are meant to assist the Language Trainer to understand the psychology behind learning a Second- or foreign language. This information is also critical for the Parent and adult-learner, although its focus is essentially on Teacher-training  Empirical component, which is aimed at the scholar or adult-learner, contains a new, scientific Language Pedagogy (based on the Pattern Recognition Theory of Ray Kurzwell), focused on providing the scholar with mental images (mnemonics), with which an association can be made and includes both LITERACY and NUMERACY (language Arithmetic and –Mathematics). The language-learning component is based on the Pattern Recognition of language and Arithmetic / Mathematics, thereby affording the child a strategic scaffold-learning effect, while progressively acquiring and mastering both literal and figurative English.
