Today i'm going to give you my top 10 tips for teaching young learners english or esl or efl tefl that kind of thing. My first tip for teaching young learners is to have a routine. So everything should have a routine: how to take out your book out of your bag, how to use your pencil, how to sharpen your pencil, how to line up to go eat lunch, how to go out for recess, how to come back into the classroom, how to get ready to go home at the end of the day, etc. My 2nd tip for teaching young learners is to lower your expectations. I taught in a Hogwan which is kind of like a private cram school in Korea. In my very first year there, they were kindergarten students but they started kindergarten earlier in Korea. 3rd is songs and chants. Kids love songs and chants. You can find a song for kids for any topic, any grammar point, etc. My 4th tip for teaching young learners is to use games and activities and use a wide variety of them. The same thing kind of gets boring and trying to do like serious book exercises. If you need some ideas definitely check out my book on amazon about preschool and kindergarten esl activities. We'll put the link down below (https://amzn.to/3ogxNGF). 5th tip is rewards. If you have some small prizes or a reward system of some kind it can be some ESL teaching gold. I never teach kids without this. Number 6 is to review a lot. This is like any age language learner you need lots of reviews so don't be scared to kind of do the same thing every day. Review days of the week, everyday review colors, animals, numbers that kind of thing. Students have to hear it like 5 or 10 or 15 or some students the slower ones 20, 25, 30 times before it can really stick in their heads. Number seven when teaching young learners, is to use a textbook. It can be a bit overwhelming to go into class every single day and kind of feel like "what am I going to do?" I have this bingo game, this book and kind of putting together these random lessons. Number eight, my tip for teaching young learners is vocabulary. When you're learning a language you need vocabulary. It doesn't matter how good your grammar skills are, if you don't have that word ready to go, you can't talk. Number 10 is flashcards. I will never go into a young learner class without flashcards, it's like my security blanket. There's a whole bunch of games you could even just like for very beginners. Show the card, "what is it? It's a cat" or you can play games.
