TEACHING ACROSS AGE LEVELS

It is really important when someone wants to teach because he or she has to know very well the different ages that the students have and in that way the teacher will apply some different activities according to the ages. Hence, teaching across age levels helps teachers to develop more techniques and activities for the students.

TEACHING CHILDREN

The activities that the teachers give their students should be designed to catch their immediate interest. It means the teacher has to make lessons interesting, lively and fun because in this case children tend to get bored very fast. So, it is really important that the teacher can develop new activities or change his methodology in order to have better results in the classroom.
Another point is that children must have all five senses stimulated, this is interesting because in that way children learn very easy.

TEACHING ADULTS

The teacher has to know very well what kinds of activities he can apply in the classroom when he is teaching to adults. The teacher has to understand that he can not treat adults like children(calling them kids, using caretaker talk or talking down to them) because teachers have to treat adults like adults.
Students adults are always higly motivated and the most important thing is that they are clear about their goals.

TEACHING TEENS:

Teaching teenagers is a stage very difficult because teens want to do all the things they want. It can be difficult to create a positive learning environment in which adolescents feel happy, secure, valued and motivated to learn. The reasons for this are many because teenagers are going through many physical emotional changes, including changes in their brains. Also, if they want to go to classes, it may be because it is where the rest of their friends are.So they feel motivated by them.  To sum up, the teacher has to take into consideration what activities he or she can apply in the classroom and the benefits for the teenagers.
