Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL)

COURSE OUTLINE

The TEYL Course text is divided into four parts:

        1. Part One – Care and Teaching of Young Children
        2. Part Two – Essential English
        3. Part Three – Making Learning Fun
        4. Part Four – Planning Lessons

After each part, there is an assignment to complete.

Part One covers the special attention and needs of young learners. This includes how the need for TEYL developed, care and control of young children, how children learn, how they learn a new language and how to create an effective learning environment.

Part Two deals with many techniques, approaches and activities for teaching English to young learners, including learning the sounds, spelling, reading, speaking, writing and building vocabulary.

Part Three shows how you can introduce English lessons in fun ways through storytelling, games, art, video, computers and the Internet.

Part Four is a valuable source of reference material and practical tips for teachers of young children. It includes sections on planning seasonal activities, outside events, what learning outcomes you should be planning to achieve, assessing progress and many other tips for teachers of young children.

The object of this course is to familiarize you with the many aspects of teaching young children, whether preschool or primary school age or so that you will have a solid foundation upon which to add your own experience. When you have completed the course, the material will be a valuable resource for you in the years to come.  Use it whenever you are searching for new ideas and concepts with which to experiment in your classes.
