2022-07-25 15:10:53 ​​ Learning grammar is difficult for both children and adults, but it is possible. It is important to understand that children learn differently, and their brains process information differently, especially language. This should be taken into account when preparing for classes.

How does this affect the choice of tasks for our young students? Here are some recommendations:

you need to focus on the content, and then on the form of grammar or vocabulary;
increase attention to grammatical forms through maximum repetition;
choose tasks that correspond to the age of students;
assignments should represent what our students might need in real life;
choose tasks that are interesting and at the same time difficult according to the cognitive development of students.

In our new blog post, read about ways to teach grammar to YL and activities to practice it. Open / Comment
