TEACHING CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS


The age of students is an important factor in how and what to teach.

Teaching Children

To take account:
  • Children to 9 and 10 years old learn differently than older children
  • They respond to meaning (even if they do not understand individual words)
  • They capture information by focusing on the precise topic
  • They are always interested in the teacher’s approval
  • Present the language in a fun and positive way

There are some categories about effective teaching:
  • Intellectual development (vocabulary and repetition of words)
  • Service interval (focus children’s attention and encouraged about subject)
  • Sensory input (stimulated all 5 senses)
  • Affective factors (help them to share with others)
  • Authentic and meaningful (embedded in the context)

Teaching adolescents

Adolescent are the best language learning according to Benny Ur (1996)
  • Search for the individual identity is more important (to the student) than the attention of the teacher
  • They respond with their own thought and experiences
  • They are between childhood and adulthood
For give them a better teaching:
  • High self-esteem should be maintained
  • Avoiding the shame of students at all costs.
  • High school students become more adult in the ability to retain information


Teaching Adults

According to Steven Pinker, their learning does not depend on the activities
  • Adults participate with abstract thinking
  • They are more disciplined
  • Many adults have a successful learning because they have a clear understanding
  • Adults have higher cognitive abilities than other levels
Some ways of teaching an adult:
  • Show respect for the deepest thoughts of the adult
  • Do not treat adults as children
  • Offer them several opportunities as it is possible
  • Remember, the discipline of adults is not the same that of a child
