Teaching children
From Teflpedia
(Redirected from Children)
Teaching children aka kids requires more than just presenting the formal language aspects of English and teachers must take into consideration such diverse aspects as attention span and the affective filter, while ensuring that materials, games and stories are within the range of each particular developmental stage.[1]
Teachers should probably be especially familiar with the theories of Vygotski[2] (zone of proximal development (ZPD)), Piaget,[3] and Ausubel.[4]
