Teaching to different age groups

Teaching Children

Children tend to be very energetic and therefore you will need to be prepared to stay on your toes when in class. When teaching young children, it is important to remember that they do not have a driving reason to learn English. Rather they are driven by imagination and it is important to keep this in mind when creating your lessons.

• 
      Establish a set routine for each class that is easy for them to learn and understand.
  
• 
      Incorporate fun games and singing into the lesson plan.
  
• 
      Do not overcorrect and use positive reinforcement throughout the class.
  
• 
      Do not shout at them; create a way to get their attention (i.e. rhythmic clapping or a fun rhyme)
