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)
