How young children learn English through play | British Council
Five important tips for teachers who are new to this age group:
- Establish a set of classroom rules from day one. This will help you control behaviour within the classroom. Remind them of the rules regularly.
- Use procedures to organise the class. Children at this stage need to know what to do before activities begin. Remember that instructions need to be straightforward, and activities should be demonstrated (modelled) in advance.
- When conflicts arise, do not panic. Show yourself at ease and approach the students at their level, making eye contact. Speak to them with a soft tone of voice.
- Show enthusiasm about the activities they are going to participate in. Be part of the activities as well.
- Have a set of songs, chants and quick games to hand to keep their attention. You can use them at any moment in the class to change from one activity to the other.
