The impact of indirect methods on teaching foreign languages to kids

Teaching foreign languages to kids has been always a controversial area in educational system but what do you think is the best way to overcome the hardships?

Due to years of experiences some tips will be given in the bellow article

1.GBL: Game based learning Have you ever wanted to teach a special topic to kids but found it difficult to explain regarding their age? Why not getting some help from various teaching aids?

For instance, imagine you want to teach “Shapes” to a bunch of 3-year-old kids, the best teaching aids will be puzzles, plastic shapes, clay or some fun games like shapes finger forming in the air.

2.Make it Fun:

As we all know it is not easy for kids to sit properly for hours listening to their teachers so the best way to make them focus on the subject you are teaching is just by making it fun by involving them in different activities, playing games or even holding the class outside then you will be surprised by the feedback.

3.Creativity:

What turns a teacher in to a perfect one is creativity. All you need is having a rich lesson plan including fun activities, games, colorings and crafts regarding the syllabus to make the kids learn better.

4.Make it active:

Do not put pressure on kids at all and let them be free and release their energies, but how?

Have you ever thought how effective would it be to teach through physical activities?

For instance, teaching action verbs like” Jump, Fly…” by asking the kids to act out.

Thus, traditional direct methods must be replaced by indirect teaching strategies to gain a better efficiency and feedback.
