Promoting learning through play

Play is a very significant part of what life means to children at this stage of their development. Teachers should therefore promote learning through play as much as possible. Games with flashcards, competitions, races, and so on, are among the most exciting ways in which children learn. As well as encouraging active learning, they help develop social skills.

Encouraging children's creativity and imagination

It's important that we help young learners develop beyond mere language abilities. Creativity and imagination are part of their learning process and they need to be promoted by the teacher. For example, you can create new songs with the help of learners by trying to use their suggestions. Arts and crafts also provide children with a good opportunity to use their imagination and creativity. But we shouldn't insist they replicate a craft model we have prepared. Instead, allow them to go further and use their own ideas.
