SOME CONSIDERATIONS FOR TEACHING YOUNG LEARNERS

Because children...¨ Have a short

concentration span¨ Learn fast and forget

even faster¨ Are learning social

skills

¨ Learn first by listening and speaking

You should...¨ Limit activities to a

maximum of 20 minutes¨ Constantly revise and

recycle language¨ Provide activities that

develop abilities to cooperate/share

¨ Focus on oral skills

Because children...¨ Have lots of energy and

are sometimes clumsy¨ Cannot comprehend

abstractions¨ Cannot analyze

language

¨ Have a natural instinct for playing and fun

You should...¨ Let them move! (TPR)

¨ Use concrete references (realia/cards)

¨ Use meaningful and memorable contexts and teach grammar implicitly

¨ Provide activities that are fun! (games/ songs/ pen&paper/drama/video)
