My view is that language teaching is in fact a professional skill. It requires teacher training before you can really teach a kid. Even if you have the most wonderful teaching material in the world, it requires an experienced and skillful teacher to teach effectively. If you're just a parent with formal language education training, I'd suggest you spend your money on something else instead.
The above is just my opinion. The choice is yours.
Oxford Path is packaged/marketed by native speakers professionals and even Chris Patten...etc. However, from insider, the whole editor team is from local not overseas. All money goes to advertisement, play group centre and showroom.
For Disney, it is American English. Traditionally, Hong Kong schools teach British English.
Both are expensive. I wonder we could buy various learning tools for my kids rather one set.
I bought Disney because the songs and the stories are more suitable for infants , and they are more interesting . My bb doesn\'t like Oxford DVD, so better try their demo disc first. Oxford has a tablet but many critics said it is not good for babies to use electronics so early that will lower their concentration. Also Disney is cheaper.
I've bought Oxford Path, and it's good. My son is very young and we only expose him to CD, DVD, books and flash cards only so far. He has fallen in love with the characters already.
It is too early to tell its efficiency in teaching English. But from a parent's point of view, the content of the books suits young babies and some are related to their daiy life. I don't see any problem with having local people develop the curriculum, as long as it is suitable. The after-buy service is also good.
I find it more organised for me to teach him English and I need not buy books / cards here and there. I wish there is a similar set on Chinese....
