YOUNG LEARNERS TEACHING MODULES
Phase 1: The Learner
Teaching ESL to children is not merely a matter of setting them
loose on a plethora of authentic language tasks in the
classroom. To successfully teach children a language requires
specific skills and intuitions that differ from those
appropriate for adult teaching.

Phase 2: The Skills
For decades English language teaching has identified the “four
skills” – listening, speaking, reading and writing – of
paramount importance. Listening and reading are considered to be
receptive skills while speaking and writing as productive.
Though at times these are taught in separate segments but there
is a recent trend to integrate the skills. The language learners
discover the differences and the interrelationship among these
primary skills.

Phase 4: Tools
Teacher- centered approaches fail to treat the children as
‘whole’ people. The teaching is usually rational and is
primarily aimed at the children’s intellect. There is an
assumption that real learning occurs when the children are
serious. How wrong this is!!

Phase 5: That’s right!
Correction and evaluation are important components in the
educational world. In every learning experience there comes a
time to pause and take stock, to put our focal processes to
their best use and to demonstrate skills and knowledge.
Unfortunately students view this process of correction and
evaluation with a lot of apprehension and it is up to us as
teachers to make it a positive experience.
