Teaching children a foreign language and teaching adults a foreign language will require different skills and energy.

Tue, 04 Dec 2018 Linda Dunsmore Teaching Ideas 4 Super Easy Tips for Teaching Vocabulary to Young Learners When students hear 'vocabulary', they may expect to hear the word 'list' next. More often than not, we associate the word 'list' with 'boring'! We think of 2 daunting columns of black letters on white paper: one with the native language and one with the target language.
