http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/transform/teachers/specialist-areas/teaching-young-learners
Children have a very short attention span
Vary the pace during the lesson mixing up exciting
and relaxing games
Repeat, review, revise
Make your lessonsplayful and full of physical movement
Teach in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere
with plenty of encouragement
Bring in puppets or teddy bears and have the puppet
introduce the new vocabulary for the lesson
Use chants, rhymes and songs. These are great for movement
and frequent repetition of vocabulary and phrases
Do not burden your preschool children with reading and writing – leave those for when the children are older
Concentrate on listening and understanding,
building vocabulary and the acquisition of short
phrases
Start with familiar topics such as colors, numbers, greetings, animals, fruit, food and drink, families,
body parts, shapes, clothing, the weather, days of the week and
short everyday sentences and phrases
Focus on positive behavior
Use stories
