Q: What is the easiest way to bore young learners to tears? A: Start talking to them about language (the Causative Form; the Past Perfect Subjunctive – etc.). Young learners learn by doing. They learn by using language as a means to an end and the activities we use have to reflect that.

In this very practical workshop, we will be looking at five simple and easy-to-use tasks which we can use in class tomorrow. We will also look at the importance of preparing young learners for these tasks, and for demonstrating to them exactly what they have to do in advance so the activities run smoothly.
