Tips for teaching mixed-level / age / ability children's classes

Thursday, March 25th, 2010, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Speaker: Yuco Kikuchi

Children come to class with different background knowledge and interests. Even if their ages are the same and they start English lesson at the same time, their learning styles and weak or strong areas are different. In this workshop, the facilitator will first share fun activities that have worked for mixed level classes including phonemic awareness activities. Participants will also experience how to design activities using Easter as a topic. Party games, easy and fun games for taiken/trial lessons for recruiting new students will be also shared. We always have a number of games and activities for English class for young children to share on site at the workshop venue, with many participants and a facilitator. The workshop will be conducted in Japanese with English assistance by the facilitator.
