What Works … with younger learners in the English classroom?

This session will focus on 6 – 10 year olds. At this age children can’t see the «usefulness» of learning a different language but are rather motivated by the content of the lesson and the activities they are doing. We will look at some activities that work well in the younger learner classroom and draw from these two key principles for helping our children become successful language learners. Some examples will come from Academy Stars, a major new course series for young learners.

Becoming good readers … in English

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body» (Addison) and most teachers would agree on the importance of developing reading with children. When it comes to reading in a foreign language, the challenges become greater! We need to encourage children to transfer and develop the skills and strategies they use in their own language at the same time as increasing their knowledge of the new one … and enjoying this experience at the same time!

Jane Cadwallader is experienced in teaching English to children and has run courses for primary teachers in CPRs and for the British Council.
