Be well prepared before the lesson - A young learner will not sit quietly and wait for you once they have finished a task. Have materials ready to keep early finishers on track and engaged, Don't over correct - Young children learn English just as they learned their native language: through experience and interaction. They aren’t consciously studying structure and grammar rules, so keep your corrections natural. If they make a mistake, just repeat back the correct sentence. For example, if your student says, “He goed to the park,” you could respond, “Yes, he goes to the park.”, Movement and activity is key - Not only is movement and activity a part of childhood, but it actually helps the learning process and keeps students involved in your lessons. In your classroom, try games like “Simon Says”, or pass around a ball and have each student answer a question when they catch it., Use song - We all remember catchy songs from school. Music is powerful, and fun songs will keep your students engaged and help them pick-up new vocabulary., Attractive flashcards - Children love bright colours and pleasing visuals. Young learners who may not be literate in their first language will learn and retain new vcabulary items if they can associate it with a picture. , Classroom management: Signaling to learners - Using consistent signals in class is an effective way to manage a group. A good signal is clapping three times, having students repeat the rhythm back and falling silent after they’ve finished. Other teachers will use a hand single which they’ll hold up until all students are quiet and making the same sign. No matter what happens, never shout over them. Raising your voice to get their attention can make them used to talking over you, so stay calm., Don't over excite the children - For young kids, having a foreigner lead their class is interesting and exciting, especially if it doesn’t happen very often, such as once a week or even just once a term. It’s easy for kids to get whipped up into an exciting English-teaching frenzy, and some teachers encourage that because they think it means their students are engaged and motivated. If you want to have a good relationship with your local teachers, it might be a good idea to put yourself in their position. They have to teach their students for the rest of the day, or week, when you’re not there. They have to be the disciplinarian and teach things that might seem a bit more “boring” than English.,
