Teaching young learners is different from teaching adults. Young children tend to change their mood every other minute, and they find it extremely difficult to sit still. On the other hand, they show agreater motivation than adults to do things that appeal to them. Since it is almost imposibble to cater to the itnerests of about 25 young individuals, the teacher has to be inventive ins electing interesting activities, and must provide a great variety of them. My teaching approach is neither purely communicative nor audiolingual (AL), it also involves features of total physical response (TPR), which is particularly appropriate for young children. I do not consider any of the abovementioned approaches sufficient of itself to bring about a high degree of language proficiency in the learner. The goal is to achieve communicative competence, but the manner of teaching includes audiolingual features, such as choral / single drills, and activities deriving from TPR.
