9. o IntellectualDevelopment:
Children are centered on the here and now. We can
not teach linguistic concepts because they have little
notion of “correctness”.
o Attention Span:
Make lesson interesting, lively and fun. Activities
should be designed to capture their immediate
interest.
o Sensory input:
Children need to have all five senses stimulated.
Pepper your lessons with physical activities.
10. o AffectiveFactors:
Children are extremely sensitive, especially to
peers. Their egos are still being shaped. Teachers
need to help them to overcome potential barriers.
o Authentic,meaningful language.
Children are focused on what this new language
can actually be used for.
o Multiple Intelligences
11. • Adults
are more able to handle abstract rules and
concepts.
• Adults have longer attention spans for material
that may not be intrinsically interesting to them.
Keep activities short.
• Sensory input need not always be quite as varied
with adults.
12. • We shouls never underestimate the emotional
factors that may be attendant to adult second
language learning.
• Adults, with their more developed abstract
thinking ability, are better able to
understand a context-reduced segment of
language.
14. • Verbal-Linguistic: well-developed verbal skills and sensitivity to the
sounds, meanings and rhythms of words
• Mathematical-Logical: ability to think conceptually and abstractly, and
capacity to discern logical or numerical patterns
• Musical: ability to produce and appreciate rhythm, pitch and timber
• Visual-Spatial: capacity to think in images and pictures, to visualize
accurately and abstractly
• Kinesthetic: ability to control one's body movements and to handle
objects skillfully
• Interpersonal: capacity to detect and respond appropriately to the
moods, motivations and desires of others
• Intrapersonal: capacity to be self-aware and in tune with inner
feelings, values, beliefs and thinking processes
• Naturalist: ability to recognize and categorize plants, animals and other
objects in nature
• Existential: sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human
existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get
here.
16. • Provide the possibility to play
• Give confidence
• Arouse interest
• Movement and gesture help illustrate meaning
• Practise stress,rhythm,pronunciation
• Make language easy to remember
• Appeal to the whole class trough visual,aural and
kinaesthetic channels.
17. • Advantages: • Drama…
Create a social context Needs hardwork and
Ss actively involved in commitment
learning Do not be put off by failure:
Identification and learn from it
distancing Process based
Compliments any syllabus not product based
Words related to physical
actions
Learning language becomes
a creative process
18. • Children: • Role of the teacher:
Builds confidence Function/attitude
Holistic approach
¨Failsafe¨ climate Carefully planned
Paralinguistic features Guide
Equal participation in Check pace

19. Guided Imagery can be used effectively to
stimulate students’ problem solving. It is used to
help students to explore their feelings and
attitudes. The students’ prior experience and
knowledge about the topic must be considered.
