Learning, Playing
and Growing in English.
Two of the most important rules of
successful language teaching for young learners appear to be the
following:
1. Start
them as young as possible.
2. Make
each lesson as fun and as engaging as you can.
Nobody
would argue with that but sometimes in our effort to make it fun and exciting
we forget to make long- term pedagogical goals. Young learners, like everybody
else, need a systematic and structured programme. English learned at pre-school
level should be reinforced and developed at primary level one and so on and so
forth.
This talk will look
at approaches that ensure a steady progress in language levels at each new
stage of learning as well as exploring ways to foster the cognitive, emotional,
social and physical development of the children. Let’s make sure that they not only play but
that they learn and grow in our English language classes as well.
Teenagers,
the 3 P’s and the 4 C’s!
Remember the three P’s – Present, Practice and Produce? Heard of the four C’s – Communication, Collaboration, Critical thinking and Creativity?
While
most courses emphasize the first two P’s, we will be concentrating on getting
students to produce language in this
talk. We will look at an integrated
skills approach while focusing on productive,
exam skills: writing and speaking.
We will also give consideration to the
so-called ‘Twenty First Century skills’ by including a look at how
communicative and collaborative skills are developed in Pearson’s courses for
teenagers.
In other words, we
will explore the importance of the third P and the first two C’s for preparing
our teenagers not only for the exam but for their future careers!
