INTERACTIVE ENGLISH ACTIVITIES FOR TEENAGERS
Keywords:
English for young learners, fun and active learning, teaching strategiesAbstract
Nowadays, more and more teens are dedicating time to studying English. In some schools, English has been taught as a local content subject. Teaching young learners is not like teaching adults because children have their own way of learning. Young learners need to feel secure and know that there are some obvious reasons for learning English. Therefore, teachers have to motivate them to learn as much as possible in order to be able to communicate fluently using English. Since children like to play and have fun, the learning and teaching process should be suitable with the characteristics of the children themselves. Various forms of fun activities for children are important for their learning and development. This paper will discuss various activities in teaching young learners which could enhance their language skills.
