How to teach english language efficientlay to children?

[Philo Kevetch]

Hello komathee kolandasoo -

Have you tried the "Teachers Forum" listed under "Stuff for Teachers" on daves' homepage?

You might have better luck finding some ideas to help you there.

For what my opinion is worth...

Watch some TV program(me)s designed for kids (esp. segment timing)and model your lesson plans in a similar manner.

Have fun with you students and let me know what you find. Philo

children learn different languages much faster than adults. eduacators are learning that children should learn different languages in primary school, rather than begin learning in secondary school. in USA, few schools across the country are beginning to learn a second language in primary school, but not many - they can probably be counted on one hand. it's a new concept here.

i did not learn to speak a different language until i was in college and it was the most difficult thing that i had ever done in my life. early is definitely better. iitimone7
