Empowering English Learners Through Proven Instruction
Educational Achievement Publishing (EAP) is proud to be the publisher of Direct Instruction Spoken English (DISE)! DISE is a uniquely effective intervention program designed to teach spoken English to non-English speaking students in grades 4-12. Developed by Siegfried “Zig” Engelmann, one of the key founders of the Direct Instruction model, DISE addresses the structure of the English language directly and systemically through highly interactive learning sessions. Lessons are carefully planned with clear exercises designed around small learning increments. Each lesson is taught to mastery through daily oral practice with the whole class.
Field-tested, research-backed curriculum designed for measurable success.
