Teaching English-to Children as a Foreign Language(개정증보3판)

This book is designed to provide pre-service/in-service English teachers with a theoretical background and practical ideas for teaching English to children. The approaches and activities presented in this book intend to tap into children’s strengths and weaknesses as young language learners. Children love fun, adventure and imagination, and at the same time they are spontaneous with a limited attention span. This book deals with children’s characteristics as language learners, methods of teaching language skills, assessment, class management, planning, and materials.
