Considerations when Teaching Young Learners

Some things to consider when Teaching Young Learners

Teaching children can be one of the most rewarding things you can do as a TEFL

teacher, but it is not enough to simply play games and have fun.

If you truly want to teach children effectively, there are many things to consider.

It is important to consider how children learn. Teaching English to children should be child-initiated, so you need to create a need in

the child to learn and then fill that need.

Unlike adults, children often come to English classes because they have to, so one of your

tasks is to create an environment that makes them want to learn and participate.

If you are teaching children who are not familiar with the English alphabet, you will

need to show and explain how English works, using patterns and styles of writing that may

not exist in their own languages.
