Task 3. Read the following tips for teaching different age groups and present 
ideas to the whole group. 
Group 1. Tips for Teaching English to Children. 
Small children don’t have a driving motivation to learn languages. Their attention 
is fueled by curiosity and imagination. Anything and everything is potentially 
interesting to a younger child. It takes a lot of energy to teach them, especially full 
time over the course of a week, but it might be an ideal job for you if you’re 
creative and enthusiastic. Here are some things to keep in mind when teaching 
children. 
1. Keep the momentum moving 
Classes with children don’t run on autopilot, and you’re less likely to have to 
follow a set curriculum than you are when teaching older kids. It may even be up 
to you to plan your classes from scratch. 
If a group of 6-year-olds doesn’t have something to do, don’t expect them to sit 
quietly like angels and wait until you’re ready. That’s why it's important to always 
have your materials prepared before class and have backup lessons at hand for 
times when Plan A takes a nosedive. 
2. Don’t over-correct 
Young children learn English just as they learned their native language: through 
experience and interaction. They aren’t consciously studying structure and 
grammar rules, so keep your corrections natural. If they make a mistake, just repeat 
back the correct sentence. For example, if your student says, “He goed to the 
park,” you could respond, “Yes, he goes to the park.”

3. Movement and activity is key 
Not only is movement and activity a part of childhood, but it actually helps the 
learning process and keeps students involved in your lessons. In your classroom, 
try games like “Simon Says”, or pass around a ball and have each student answer a 
question when they catch it.
