Maintaining Young Learners’ Attention  

Labels: 0 comments

Varying the tempo within my lessons for young learners has helped me to more than anything else to maintain their involvement. Some things you can do in class are:

  • Alternating sitting and listening/watching activities with movement and/or song
  • Alternating fast-and-slow, or LOUD-and-quiet, sitting-and-STANDING, with clapping and without clapping during activities
  • Changing your voice, higher and lower, during an activity
Try to be attentive to the students movements and restlessness during quiet activities- when either start to interrupt regular class behavior, it's time to get the ants out of their pants with some action!
