Young to Young – Teaching Young Learners in a 121context Anette Igel, DoS ILC IH Brno
Who has experience with teaching YL 1-2-1? • …. and how do you feel about it? • I have never taught YL in a 1-2-1 situation. • I have taught a few classes, but I’m not very comfortable with it. • I am teaching 1-2-1 and I love it!

Topics and interests • …. and I love ‘The wanted’ …. The who? • 3. Types of activities • …. Can we play the fly swatter game? • 4. Interaction between teacher and student • ….

Designing a syllabus and setting up lessons So what do we need to think off when planning for 1-2-1 lessons? 1. The age of the child/teen 2. The interests they might have 3.
