 TEYL – Teaching English to Young Learners Due to the ever-expanding influence of the English language on popular culture worldwide, the numbers of young learners wanting to learn English continues to grow year after year. As a consequence, more and more private language schools as well as state-run schools are beginning to provide English programs aimed at this market. As job opportunities continue to increase to meet this demand, a growing number of language teachers are choosing to specialize in this field. Teaching Young Learners follows many of the same principles as teaching adult learners. However, the fundamental difference is the methods used by the teacher to facilitate the learning process. Teaching Young Learners generally includes a greater emphasis in games, music, singing and movement in the classroom.
