Not:

It's not primarily about teachers "teaching English."

It's not simply playing website materials directly; it involves a combination of online and offline activities.

It's not conducted as a multimedia teaching method; instead, children need to grasp the use of the tools simultaneously.

It's not about mechanically "teaching" new content in class; it involves guiding children to understand and master methods, gamified operations, and allows for practice and review at home.

It's not about teachers guiding reading; pronunciation is imitated along with the platform.

It's not about mastering it 100% during collective activity time; it needs to be integrated with fragmented time and family playtime.

It's not about assigning homework to children and parents; it provides children with a learning tool that can be used at home and serves as a platform for building parent-child relationships. It creates more common topics for parents and children.

It's not solely reliant on teacher-student interaction; it also involves encouraging student-student and parent-child interaction.

It's not about speaking loudly being the best; it involves guiding children to engage in dialogue and communication using a pleasant tone, with moderate volume, and attempting to match the platform's pronunciation and intonation.

It's not about mechanical recitation for display; it's about children producing output that reflects their understanding of the learned content.
