Tue, 25 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The Difference Between Teaching Children and Adult Learners The age range is a huge factor when it comes to teaching a classroom.

Thu, 23 May 2019 Jon ITTT Alumni Experiences Key Ways to Motivate Students from Young Learners to Adults As we all know, motivation is a core aspect of teaching and learning a language. Lack of motivation is perhaps the biggest obstacle that we face as students and teachers. If a student lacks motivation, he/she will not pay attention in the class or will simply find it boring.
