characteristic of young learner


It is characteristics of young learners from psychology side:
·         They have short attention span. It means that teachers should vary their techniques to break the boredom. They should give varied activities as handwriting, songs, game, etc. it is so that they not boring and easy to accept the material.
·         They are very active. Teachers ask them to play games, role play dialogues and involve them in competitions. With this activity, teachers can know so far as they very active and interest the competitions.
·         They are less shy than older learners. So, ask them to repeat utterances, resort to mechanical drills.

·         They are imaginative. So teachers use pictures to teach new vocabulary related to concrete meanings. If the teacher use picture, they will be imaginative to meaning the picture because they full imagination and fantasy, and it is more than simply matter of enjoyment.

practical technique

This section focuses mainly on activities developing fluency whereas accuracy-focused activities can be found more easily. This is especially so because the classroom setting itself is adverse to real and genuine interaction. The best fluency practice is therefore such that emerges from the situation, e.g. when learners pose a question and a debate arises. Teachers should always exploit these situations fully because they are likely to be one of the best examples of meaningful and natural conversation occurring in class.
One of the problems that teachers face with activities developing fluency is that genuine speaking activities can hardly be planned. Bannink (2002) states that “genuine conversational interactions cannot be the outcome of preplanned lesson agendas, they have to emerge – and so, by definition, cannot be planned” (2002: 271). The best fluency practice is therefore such that emerges from the situation, e.g. when learners pose a question and a debate arises. Teachers should always exploit these situations fully because they are likely to be one of the best examples of meaningful and natural conversation occurring in class.

definition of speaking


Definition of speaking
Speaking has often been narrowly defined. When speaking skills are discussed, this often happens in a context of public speaking. Speaking, however, is much more than that. Broader views focus either on communication realised to achieve specific purposes, e.g. to inform, to ask for explanations, etc., or they describe speaking in terms of its basic competences used in daily communication such as booking a room, giving directions, etc.
