How to Teach English to Young Children

Knowing how to teach English to young children effectively is something all TEFL teachers should endeavour to learn. You will require a different teaching approach teaching English to children than you do with adults. Kids have a smaller attention span and have different motivations to learn English.

Some teachers wrongly think that you just need to play ESL games with kids and laught to be a good teacher; there is more to it than that. Being an effective EFL teacher for kids needs teachers to be more than fun and with a love for children. Young learner teachers need to have a good grasp of classroom management and have a firm set of rules and routines in place in your classroom. Your children will be happier, more motivated and will enjoy learning English more.

This video looks at teaching practices you can use when you teach English to young children.
