"Who dares to teach must never cease to learn" - John Cotton Dana
We are all here because we dare to teach! And we are preparing this training package because we want to keep learning. Some of us have been teaching for many years. Some of us might be new to teaching English to children. Either way, we have so much to learn from each other, and everyone's perspective is valuable to our exploration of TEYL.
The purpose of this package is to introduce you to the field of TEYL and the advantages of an early start in foreign language learning. You will learn about the different characteristics of young learners, how children learn, and how children learn language. Finally, you will examine your teachers’ English teaching contexts, develop a profile of their students, and analyze the textbooks and materials typically used in their classrooms.
Hello, English Teachers! Do you teach young learners? Then you know that teaching child is a challenge. But it is also rewarding! Anyone who has children or teaches children knows that it takes a lot of energy and patience. When I taught children, I was always sweating at the end of class. I was moving around while singing songs or playing games. I often used big gestures to keep students’ attention and to show the meaning of words.
English language teachers, teacher trainers, and anyone interested in teaching children.
