It will also depend on what material is available and by material in this case we're talking about the actual desks and chairs and so on and so forth. Perhaps the final thing we might put here is that it could also depend upon the students? personalities.

A teacher responsibility is to consider all the factors such as educational background, motivation etc and also a teachers aim must be to maintain a proper learning. So the question is what separates these two unique groups of learners? One of the most noticeable differences is an autonomy issue. Adults are independent learners while young learners are dependant. This therefore means that adults can work and organise themselves. In contrast, young learners need teachers control. Teachi

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Young learners and adults have different needs and goals in the classroom. Young learners want to be engaged and have rapidly changing activities while adult learners will enjoy a more serious classroom setting. It is the job of the teacher to ensure that these needs are met for both age groups. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Preston M. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. If a teacher is teaching classes with young learners, visual cues are very important. Many young learners are not able to read at all or can read very little, so young learners need to be using material that is picture based. When the teacher is preparing PowerPoints for young learners, they need to ensure that there are pictures of the vocabulary. If the subject is animals, each animal should be on the PowerPoint or whiteboard, and each animal should be drawn. When explaining verbs, the teacher s

Teaching can be extremely satisfying and rewarding, but how we teach and the methodologies that we use should be adapted to teaching each specific learner or groups of learners. Let's begin with defining what is considered to be an adult and what is considered to be a young learner. According to regulatory standards, an adult is an individual over the age of 18. Young learners, on the other hand, can be categorized based on three bases; from the age of seven and under (very young learners), between the ages 8 to 12 and post-puberty, usually from ages 13 to 17.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas In the past, the emphasis on teaching a foreign language was, amongst other older techniques, Grammar-Translation, and is still used in some situation today. This method helped the student to learn ‘about’ the language instead of learning the language (ITTT Unit 3,3). Over time, and continuing today, more and more attention and research have been placed on the question of what makes a good language learner. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Cliff G. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

Due to the booming of freelance jobs, the amount of adults learning new languages to live and work in other countries, or to work in their home has increased: It is not the same teaching a young student than teaching an adult, but that does not mean that adults cannot learn a second language, despite their age or native language. A second language can be acquired as a child – just like the native language, and as an adult as well. When teaching a second language, there are different factors that are taking in account: age, motivation in learning, culture, seco

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences If you're a native language speaker, you've likely heard the phrase, “You can't teach an old dog new tricks”. There has been little evidence found to support this claim, but the belief persists. Many adult learners believe that it is too late for them to learn a new language. If you are teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language you may find yourself teaching a class of adult learners. Adult learners differ in many ways from young learners, and one such issue you may encounter is a doubt from the learners that they are capable of picking up a new language now that they are no longer children. Though the style of learning and the issues encountered will inevitably differ from those of young learners, adults can learn English.

This research is particularly salient to teachers of English as a second language, as they are often called upon to teach both groups.

As a child, English was not my first language, nor was it my mother's, or my father's. Indeed, both parents were born and raised in what I may now see as a “foreign tongue”, and their exposure to the English language was brought on by the influence of Western pop culture. Initially speaking, my parents were motivated by a desire to put meaning to the TV shows and songs that surrounded their youth in Europe. Alternatively, my mother's father once sent her to the United States as a college student, stressing that if she wanted to expand her opportunities,

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences For people who are learning a foreign language, their lives might change a lot. They have the chance to talk to more people, get more information, and their brains get trained. As we all know, it’s much easier for a child to learn a new language than an adult. Why? What are the essential differences between adults and young learners? This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate LU C.

In other words, children are learning what is provided. Unconscious learning progress plays an important role in young learners’ learning progress, which means making children experience is more important and useful than teaching them.
