Introduction
First of all there is no single correct way to teach English. There are
different theories as to how students learn, so there are different ideas as to
what can and should be done in the classroom. Teaching young learners is
different from teaching adults. Young children tend to change their mood
every other minute, and they find it extremely difficult to sit still.
On the other hand, they show a greater motivation than adults to do
things that appeal to them. Since it is almost impossible to cater to the
interests of about 25 young individuals, the teacher has to be inventive in
selecting interesting activities, and must provide a great variety of them.
In this paper we will review what is written about young learners. In
the first section we wrote some notes on methods, The second section
summarize Multiple Intelligences ( MI ) theory and what is meant for us as
teachers, and how can we use what we know to improve our teaching. In
the third section we give example of hi-tech and low-tech and how
technologies change the way we teach. The fourth section we speak about
games for language learning and their benefits, that they are not just timefilling activities but have a great educational value. In the fifth section we
write and summarize some characteristic of young learners and helpful
ideas how to teach English Young learners. Round up this paper by
highlighting innovation in teaching that have revolutionized the way we
learn and how we teach.
6. Suggestopedia :
This method seeks to help learners eliminate psychological
barriers to learning. Students choose a name and character in the
language and culture and imagine being that person. Dialogues are
presented to the accompaniment of music. Students listen to them
and later playfully practice the language.
Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary defines Suggestopedia
is: a method of teaching a foreign language in which student learn
quickly by being made to feel relaxed, interested and positive .
Suggestopedia is a teaching method which is based on a modern
understanding of how the human brain works and how we learn most
effectively. It was developed by the Bulgarian doctor and
psychotherapist Georgi Lozanov (1970s). The term 'Suggestopedia',
derived from suggestion and pedagogy, is often used loosely to refer
to similar accelerated learning approaches. However, Lozanov
reserves the title strictly for his own method, and he has his own
training and certification facilities. Suggestopedia was originally
applied mainly in foreign language teaching, and it is often claimed
that it can teach languages approximately three times as quickly as
conventional methods. Suggestopedia is a method where the
materials played a big role in order to achieve the objective of the
lesson. Without the materials, the method will not work. Without the
materials, the learning process will not fit the criteria of the
Suggestopedia method.
Key Elements of Suggestopedia
Some of the key elements of Suggestopedia include a rich
sensory learning environment (pictures, colour, music, etc.), a positive
expectation of success and the use of a varied range of methods:
dramatized texts, music, active participation in songs and games, etc.
Suggestopedia adopts a carefully structured approach, using four main
stages as follows:

Presentation
A preparatory stage in which students are helped to relax and move
into a positive frame of mind, with the feeling that the learning is
going to be easy and fun.

4.
Practice
The use of a range of games, puzzles, etc. to review and
consolidate the learning.
9. Communicative Approach :
This method stresses the need to teach communicative
competence. Students usually work with authentic materials in small
groups on communicative activities.
In foreign language situation, it can be challenging to find reallife communicative contexts in which to use the target language.
When teaching English as a foreign language ( TEFL ) at any level,
the classroom has to be a place in which language is not only taught
but also used meaningfully. If language is being used meaningfully in
the classroom, it isnt taught only in isolated chunks or by breaking
the language into its grammatical or semantic component. Instead,
language is being used within a context that either mirror real
discourse or possibly uses subject matter content; depending on age
of the learners and their purpose for studying English.
In the early stages of a language course for children, it is important
to establish, priorities for the child as a learner. These include :
Building confidence.
Providing the motivation to learn English.
Encouraging ownership of language.
Encouraging children to communicate with whatever language
they have ( mime, gesture, key word, drawing, etc.
Encouraging children to treat English as a communication tool,
not as an end product.
Showing children that English is fun.
Giving children an experience of English language in nonthreatening environment.

The idea that there are different ways of being smart reaffirms what we
as teachers have always sensed; that our student are each uniquely have
gifted with intelligences. If we treat all children the same, then we tend cater
to just one type of intelligence, usually verbal-linguistic. Some children learn
better if they can sing it or attach gestures to it. We can improve our
lessons by using an understanding of intelligences to identify our students
strengths and weaknesses, and to consciously plan lesson designed to
incorporate as many of the intelligences as possible.
Thats not to say we should allow ourselves to use multiple intelligences
theory to label our students. This limits their potential as much as
measuring them all with one standard of intelligence. There is also a risk
that if we see a student as music-smart we might not expect much from
him or her during lessons taught toward the other intelligences. However,
all of the intelligences can be strengthened with practice. If we teach to all
of the intelligences, students will have a chance to learn in the way that they
are smartest, and strengthen their weaker areas. The end result is more
intelligent students, better equipped to succeed in a complex world.

Educational Technology
Low-tech( Low Technology):

Educational Technology
The term educational technology has generally come to have two
different meaning refer to the detailed application of the psychology of
learning to practical teaching problems. This is essentially a software
approach which is closely associated with the modern principles of
programmed learning.
The second meaning of educational technology refers to the application
of principles of engineering and technology in the development of electromechanical equipment used for instructional purposes. This concept is
essentially a hardware approach. It stresses the use of motion pictures,
tape recorders, teaching machines, television, projectors, and computers in
teaching-learning process.
There are new technologies - e.g.: the interactive whiteboard - that
have revolutionized how we learn and the way we teach. For many years,
the blackboard was the only teaching aid many teachers had. In todays
technological world, this is no longer true. There is a wide range of modern
resources available to many teachers. Technology provides variety in your
lessons and makes them more interesting for your students. Technology
can help to present ideas in different ways, generate new activities. But only

if its used well. In this section of the paper we hope to provide a few
practical ideas on using technology more effectively in our lessons.

lesson and lets the students hear English speaking voices other than the
teachers. But the use of the tape recorder is not limited to pre-recorded
course material.
There are other sources of listening material such as radio programmes
and music. Activities such as jigsaw listening are a communicative way of
using the tape recorder and recording the students themselves is a studentcentered way of developing language skills and confidence.
Using music
Using the tape recorder to play music quietly in the background while
students are working is a good way to create a relaxed atmosphere in the
classroom. Songs can also be used as sources of language learning
activities. Students like to work with songs. Its a change from normal
activities and can involve them in a subject most young people are
interested in. Songs contain a lot of useful language and can be used to
highlight grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. They are good for
prompting discussions and even as a tool for introducing new language.
Here are a few suggestions for activities with songs:
Gap fill
Prepare a copy of the words of a song. However, in each line delete a word
or words. The students have to listen to the song while reading the text and
try to complete the text by filling in the missing words.
Wrong words
Prepare a copy of the words of a song. However, in each line make a
mistake, for example substituting words with other words of similar
spelling/pronunciation. The students listen to the song while reading the text
and try to correct the mistakes.
Comprehension
The teacher prepares a list of comprehension questions based on the
song. The song is used as any other listening material. The students listen
and answer questions. When using songs it is important that the teacher
chooses a suitable piece of music. It should not be too difficult for the

do as they watch. It helps to focus the mind and provides material to use for
following up. By using carefully graded tasks its possible to use authentic
broadcasts even with lower level students. For example, if using live or
recorded news broadcasts its simple to create a worksheet that is suitable
for any level. Give the students a chart with four columns - time, people,
place, events. As they watch the news broadcast they fill in information in
the four columns.
Recorded programmes
Television allows students to see a wider world and different cultures.
I think it is wonderful for teaching what I think is one of the most underrated
aspects of language learning right now, which is culture. You can see the
culture in action, you can see the body language, you can see the
environment. You can see the way people behave and, therefore, for that
alone I feel video should be part of almost every class and every classroom
session.
Some practical considerations Before using television or video in your
class:
Make sure you know how to operate the equipment.
Check everything is working.
Ensure that the screen can be seen and the sound heard throughout the
room.
If using a video, make sure it is cued up to the place you want it to start
from and the counter is set to zero so that you can find the same place
easily.

The Internet
Some teachers are not very computer literate themselves but the
students are and we encourage them to use the internet - which they can
access quite easily and they use it to get up-to-date information on all sorts
of things,because sometimes in the library the books arent as up to date as
the information they can get off the internet. The internet is a revolution
really and I think that we need to make sure that learning keeps up with that
revolution and its actually part of it and its in the forefront of it.
The internet is an enormous resource of information which is getting
easier to access. It is a resource that can be exploited in many ways. As
English is the dominant language on the internet, it means they will be
exposed to English and using it for a variety of motivating and interesting
tasks. Some sites on the internet offer interactive grammar exercises - this
means that when the students complete an exercise their answers are
checked and corrected automatically. One site that does offer this is the
BBC World Service Learning English website.
You can find exercises at: www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/
It is also possible to interact not only with the computer but with other
learners around the world. This can be done through finding e-pals, the
email version of pen-pals. It means that a classroom in Africa could be
sharing information with a classroom in Asia or a classroom in America and
so on.
The classroom walls are falling down. The advantage of e-pals over
pen-pals is that communication is much speedier! You can send your
correspondent information about yourself including photos and you dont
have to wait weeks to receive a reply from the other side of the world! It
also gives students an incentive to find out more about other cultures. For
information on finding e-pals for yourself or students try:
http://www.Iecc.org/. Computer technology is becoming cheaper and more
available around the world. However, because it is a relatively new and
rapidly changing technology the teacher needs to be familiar with the
equipment and the possibilities. Use your imagination to create interesting
tasks and activities suitable for your own students and their interests.

Classroom uses
Interactive whiteboards are used in many schools as replacements for
traditional whiteboards or flipcharts or video/media systems such as a DVD
player and TV combination. Users can also connect to a school network
digital video distribution system using an interactive whiteboard. Interactive
whiteboards can also interact with online shared annotation and drawing
environments in the form of interactive vector based graphical websites.
The software supplied with the interactive whiteboard will usually allow
the teacher to keep notes and annotations as an electronic file for later
distribution either on paper or through a number of electronic formats.
In addition, some interactive whiteboards allow teachers to record
their instruction as digital video files and post the material for review by
students at a later time. This can be a very effective instructional strategy
for students who benefit from repetition, who need to see the material
presented again, for students who are absent from school, for struggling
learners, and for review for examinations. Brief instructional blocks can be
recorded for review by students they will see the exact presentation that
occurred in the classroom with the teacher's audio input. This can help
transform learning and instruction.
Many companies and projects now focus on creating supplemental
instructional materials specifically designed for interactive whiteboards.
Recently interactive whiteboards are being used for shared reading
lessons. Mimic books are one such resource which is being used for shared
reading and allows teachers to project children's books onto the interactive
whiteboard to mimic books.

Criticisms
Only some of the teachers studied and had received form of training
or professional development in the use of the technology which is on side
red by commentators as a key factor in the deployment of anything
intended to impact teaching and learning

interaction being at the center of the experience, and signals that current
educational methods are not engaging students enough. Experience with
and affinity for games as learning tools is an increasingly universal
characteristic among young learners.
There is a common perception that all learning should be serious and
solemn in nature and that if one is having fun and there is hilarity and
laughter, then it is not really learning. This is a misconception. It is possible
to learn a language as well as enjoy oneself at the same time. One of the
best ways of doing this is through games. The value of games in learning
languages is well recognized. Games motivate learners to progress in real
understanding and use of the language. Games that are challenging but
also fun encourage learners to put their language skills into practice.
Using Games
'Many experienced textbook and methodology manuals writers have
argued that games are not just time-filling activities but have a great
educational value. W. R. Lee holds that most language games make
learners use the language instead of thinking about learning the correct
forms (1979:2).
He also says that games should be treated as central not peripheral to
the foreign language teaching programs. A similar opinion is expressed by
Richard-Amato, who believes games to be fun but warns against
overlooking their pedagogical value, particularly in foreign language
teaching.
There are many advantages of using games. "Games can lower
anxiety, thus making the acquisition of input more likely" (Richard-Amato
1988:147). They are highly motivating and entertaining, and they can give
shy students more opportunity to express their opinions and feelings
(Hansen 1994:118).

Games are fun and children like to play them. Through games children
experiment, discover, and interact with their environment. Games add
variation to a lesson and increase motivation by providing a plausible
incentive to use the target language. For many children between 4 & 12
years old, especially the youngest, language learning will not be the key
motivational factor. Games can provide this stimulus. The game context
makes the foreign language immediately useful to the children. It brings the
target language to life. The game makes the reasons for speaking plausible
even to reluctant children. Through playing games, students can learn
English the way children learn their mother tongue without being aware they
are studying; thus without stress, they can learn a lot. Even shy students
can participate positively (Lewis, 1999).

varied games into your classes to practice the language you are teaching
will keep your children alert and enjoying themselves.
10. The philosophy of encouragement incorporated into these games allows
all students, including the less good ones, to gain in confidence. You can
easily control the class by switching to calming games when you need to
calm everyone down or throw in an exciting game when you want to pick up
the pace. Variety is the key and with some games you are spoiled for
choice.

Young Learners
Some characteristics of young learners:
Teaching younger learners is different from teaching adults. Younger
learners are social, active, and creative. Younger learners need to have
opportunities to physically move during class and to play. As they play, they
learn and practice social skills, including communication and language
skills. They are curious and usually willing to learn another language.
Because their cognitive abilities are still developing, they deal better with
language as a whole, rather than with rules about language.
Since they are still in the stage of developing their native language
rules, they are able to generalize and create their own rules about a second
language as they use it. Given that their cognitive and motor skills are still
developing, they have stronger oral skills than literate skills, so this strength
can be used in teaching a second language. To do so requires a lot of
repetition and clear directions. Younger learners also have a shorter
attention span than adults, which suggests that a variety of short activities
during a class would be better than one long activity. However, as they get
older, childrens attention span becomes longer, their motor skills develop,
and they are able to do more reading and writing. We can summarize these
above characteristic as following:
They are social. They are learning to socialize as well as learning through
socializing.
They need to be physically active.
They learn through play.
They need lots of repetition and clear directions.
They are focused and respond emotionally to learning activities.
They are naturally curious and usually willing to learn.
Their cognitive and motor skills are still developing.
The rate of development is different in individual children.
Their oral skills are more advanced than their literate skills.
The have a short attention span, which becomes longer as they get older.
They are able to formulate their own language rules from comprehensible
language input.

9. Show respect to the children (since they are worthy of it) and let them
sometimes be the teacher.
10. Use English as a tool to build their self-esteem.
11. Be their "sensei,"( friend ) not their parent.
12. Remember childhood through your students.
What is PPP?
By: Gill Hart
PPP stands for Presentation, Practice and Production and is a prescribed
standard lesson format for many EFL teachers. It is commonly used as a
basis for a lesson plan and its principles are taught on many TEFL or
TESOL certificate courses. Whilst there are other formats to plan your
lessons around, PPP is considered by many in the profession to be the
basis from which others can evolve. To help new teachers get to grips with
the basics of this standard format here are a few of the main points.
PPP provides Presentation of new language, Practice of new language
and Production of new language:
Presentation
The teacher speaks up to 75% of the time, as they are presenting
information The teacher sets a natural context in which the language is
hidden, in order to convey meaning, of new language The teacher shows
form - how the grammar is made The teacher demonstrates and works on
correct pronunciation and highlights stress and intonation patterns. The
teacher highlights spelling and any irregularities with the new language The
teacher focuses on accuracy when correcting students at this stage The
teacher asks concept check questions to see if students have understood.
(If not, go back and review some of the process)
44
Practice
Students speak up to 60% of the time, teacher up to 40% The teacher
uses activities to practice the new language orally and in written format. The
teacher drills for correct pronunciation and accurate form, choral and
individually written work focuses on accurate form/structure. The teacher
models and corrects when mistakes occur. The teacher encourages lots of
pair work and group work during this stage.
Production
Students speak up to 90% of the time, teacher up to 10% The teacher
monitors but does not correct until the end. Focus is now on fluency and
rather than accuracy. The teacher models the production task, gives simple
instructions and encourages students to use old and new language.
Students use the language in a natural, everyday context, through a lactical
task within minimal input from the teacher.
N.B. At this stage learners show what they can actually do with the
new language and how correctly they use it. For an inexperienced teacher
the PPP format provides structure and guidelines for a successful lesson in
terms of presenting language and showing how it is used in context.
Learners understand how the target language is made (form) and are then
corrected first for accuracy (practice phase) and then for fluency (production
phase), when they are encouraged to use the language in a freer, more
natural way. Some linguists and teachers are against such a strict format,
feeling that is serves as a straightjacket. However, we all benefit from some
kind of standardization when we first start teaching and the PPP model is
comprehensive enough to allow teachers to apply the basic principles of
language learning in order to achieve maximum success.
Experienced teachers may play with the model. For example, they may
start with a production task first to see how much their learners actually
know and how they use the target language, without any formal training.
Teachers would then return to the basic PPP format, repeating the
production stage again at the end, thereby proving to students how much
they have learnt/grown in language terms during one lesson.

Lesson Structure
(a) The ESA lesson
A complete lesson may be planned on the ESA model where the 50-60
minutes are divided into three different segments. It is very unlikely that
these segments will be equal in duration. Activate will probably be the
longest phase but Study will probably be longer than Engage.
In this format ESA would appear to be little different from PPP.
(b) The ESA Lesson
Teachers of children and younger teenagers know that their students
cannot concentrate for long periods. They can still use the ESA model but
the model may be used repeatedly, producing a larger number of shorter
phases. This repeated ESA model also works well with older teenagers and
adults and gives lessons a richness and variety which students appreciate.
It would be wrong to give the impression that Engage, Study and Activate
are each single activities. They are phases of the teaching/learning process
which may contain one or more activities.
49
50
4. Teach in themes.
When you plan a variety of activities, it is important to have them
connect to each other in order to support the language learning process.
Moving from one activity to other that are related in content and
language helps to recycle the language and reinforce students'
understanding and use of it. Thematic units, which are a series of
lessons revolving around the same topic or subject, can create a broader
context and allow student to focus more on content and communication
than language structure. It is a good idea to use thematic unit planning
because it builds a large context within which students can learn
language. When teaching English to young learners this way, you can
incorporate many activities, songs, and stories that build on students'
knowledge and recycle language throughout the unit.
5. Use stories and contexts familiar to students.
When choosing materials or themes to use, it is important that you
find ones that are appropriate for your students based on their language
proficiency and what is of interest to them. Because young learners,
especially VYLs, are just beginning to learn content and stories in their
native language in school and are still developing cognitively, they may
have limited knowledge and experience in the world. This means that the
contexts that you use when teaching English, which may be completely
new and foreign language, should be contexts that are familiar to them.
Use of stories and contexts that they have experience with in their L1
could help these young learners connect a completely new language
with background knowledge they already have. Teacher could take a
favorite story in the L1 and translate it into English for students or even
teach the language based on situations that are found in their native
country. Young learners are still making important links to their home
cultures, so it is important to reinforce that even in L2 instruction.
6. Establish classroom routines.
Young learners function well within a structured environment and
enjoy repetition of certain routines and activities. Having basic routines in
the classroom can help to manage young learners. For example, to get
students' attention before reading/listening story or to get them quiet
down before an activity, the teacher can clap short rhythms for student to
repeatetc.

cards with clear plastic paper to protect them from little hands. This way
they can be used from year to year. The key to maintaining children's
attention is planning activities in which they will be participating actively
(holding up cards, coloring, pointing), and doing different things (acting out,
singing, miming, moving). Children naturally enjoy participating and learn as
they do! Let them feel the roundness of a circle by tracing a hoop with their
hands, or walk through the hoop to better understand the word through.
Such activities allow children to communicate in a very natural way.
Q: Why are songs and chants a good way to motivate young children
in the English classroom?
A: Children live in a musical, rhythmic world. Sounds, patterns and
movement are all around them. The most spontaneous way to introduce
children to language and make them feel comfortable is to involve them in
music and chanting. The combination of words with the beat of a chant or
song is a powerful way to help children remember the language. You can
even make your own songs and chants by:
1. Choosing key phrases and vocabulary
2. Using a familiar or simple tune or rhythm.
3. Repeat phrases where possible to make a chorus
4. Add actions to the words for added fun.
Q: What is TPR, or Total Physical Response, and why is it important in
teaching young children?
A: Children like to be active. TPR lets you put their natural energy to use to
learn English! This approach, developed by James J. Asher, is ideal for
young learners whose verbal abilities are still undeveloped. TPR provides
intense listening practice of basic language as children physically respond
to commands. Even the shyest children like TPR because there is no
speaking involved. They just show they understand the action by doing the
action. This allows children to feel successful in English from the very
beginning!
Q: Why is giving feedback to young children important?
A: Children need to know if they are doing something right or wrong. Catch
them doing something right and give them lots of praise! Correct children in
a way that won't hurt their feelings (for example, ask everyone to practice
the pronunciation of a word rather than just one child). Most of all, repeat
the correct version, sometimes overemphasizing so they get the correct
way of saying it.

Innovation in Teaching
What is meant by innovation in teaching?
Are there some genuinely new ways of teaching language? Are there
new technologies - e.g.: the interactive white board -that have
revolutionized how we learn and the way we teach? What innovative
methodologies are of interest to the classroom teacher or educationalist?
Innovations in Teaching comes up with the answers as we look at
challenges and changes in the world of ELT and find ideas for teachers to
take away. Innovation actually means something new, new idea, new
invention or way of doing something. In context of language teaching it
must mean new idea that people have to change things to the better and
often these ideas dont come from the way you are in the moment, from
your classroom practice, they come sudden brain wave a light go on your
head, something different from the outside.
We need innovative ideas, because there are different kinds of
theories and methods on what we teach, and how we teach (we mentioned
some of them in the first section = short notes on methods), have being
used all of them around the world; buy different people in different places;
and combination between some of them. But there is not hundred percent
successful way on what we teach and how we teach. Therefore we just
keep looking and searching and thinking of ways make work better and
better. Really technology affecting on methodology, it changing the way we
see things, but doesnt change the fundamental way we do things.
Technology is a tool, its job to make that thing better not to be ended in
itself.
