TVYLs (Teaching Very Young Learners)

To start my blog I just want to share with you my point of view about TVYLs.
Teaching very young learners is not as easy as it seems to be. It requires a big effort becuase they're children.
So it means that they are so different among them. You will find different kinds of learning and behavior and that's why you have to be prepared for that.
For teaching TVYLs you have to be creative, in this way you will create interesting teaching material in order to get their attention. Also be funny, because children don't like boring classes, use a variaty of activities to amuse them and use your time properly, the period of time you will get their attention is pretty short. Don't forget KISS (Keep It Short and Simple).




Another important point is: be tolerant, because like I said before there are different kinds of behavior and some of them will be quite anoying for you.
Create a good class atmosphere to motive children to learn. Planning a good class management will help you to teach easily and remember to have a back up plan in case of emergency.
Don't forget, children learn by doing. So, use things and activities that likes them to do and play.
