General English Course Books for Young Learners ▷ Infographic - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT

3 Strategies For Motivating Young Learners - TEFL Blog


Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas What motivates young students to learn a new language? That's the question many teachers have when teaching English as a Second Language (ESL). Many children learn English because their parents or teachers dictate it, not necessarily by choice. Additionally, often there is no immediate real-world application of English outside the classroom (Noamen, 2009). For many students, the thirty to sixty minutes in class may be the only language exposure they'll have. It is therefore critical for ESL teachers to motivate students to learn English by creating a communicative learning environment where students engage in real language experiences and by utilizing a variety of fun and purposeful activities to get students involved in the learning process....  [Read more]

Key Ways to Motivate Students from Young Learners to Adults - TEFL Blog


Jon ITTT Alumni Experiences 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.
