The way children learn a foreign language depends on their developmental stage. Thus ways children learn in primary school are different from ways children learn in secondary school. This is also reflected in the curriculum that focusses on the oral skills. As a general rule it can be assumed that the younger the children are, the more holistic learners they will be. Based on current theories of acquiring and learning a second language, we will examine methodology especially geared to young learners in primary and early secondary school. The main aim of this course is to take a closer look at the language learning/teaching material available in Germany, authentic materials and new media and its implementation. |
