The course aims to give you practical ideas for the young learner classroom and an opportunity to reflect on young learner teaching theory and practice. The seminars are highly practical, covering activities and techniques used in the young learner classroom, such as songs, drama, stories, and videos: classroom management and planning: and approaches to teaching language and skills. The course is not designed with one particular age group in mind. Input sessions cover the complete range of young learners (from 3–16 years). The course is validated, and the syllabus and assessment criteria are fixed by the International House World Organisation.
