Exploring and Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Young Learners - An Activity Based Guide (9786254391934)

This book serves as a guide for English teachers who teach at the pre-school and primary school levels, for preservice teachers who will teach English to young learners after graduation, and for bilingual parents who want to review pedagogical sources and practical samples, particularly for following an effective route in teaching English to young learners. The book introduces key concepts through definitions, explanations, and theoretical information with implementable and accessible activities and samples that can broaden the limits of classroom learning. Literally, the book presents general information about theoretical considerations relevant to the nature of language, syllabus design for English lessons and commonly used methods in teaching English to young learners with practical samples. Plus, techniques, principles, and materials needed to develop language skills in foreign language teaching and to improve vocabulary are focused. Exploring how to teach grammar in a comprehensible and remarkable way, classroom management, assessment techniques and the relationship between the language and culture in teaching English to young learners are also addressed. Last but not least, the book aims to encourage language teachers to consider interesting ways to make their classroom more colourful when teaching English as a foreign language to young learners.
