  • There are appropriate methods for teaching young children, such as the Total Physical Response (TPR), Task-Based Language Learning & Ludic Method.
  • Children learn best through physical, auditory and visual activities. You can use materials and resources such as flashcards, pictures, songs, videos, etc. It's important to create short activities of 5-10 minutes (not long) so that children don't become frustrated; hence the importance of including dynamic games.
  • In addition, it's essential to integrate English skills into different types of activities such as individual, group and pair activities.
  • We must remember that children always need the help and guidance of the teacher and their parents, and we must also encourage companionship and help among all.
