To be a teacher of young children, one must be like one of them. One needs to be a child as well. Have fun teaching, be silly, be kind, be funny and you will have them in the palm of your hand.

Expressing that a particular way or technique is the most effective is challenging because what works for one student or group, may not work for others. Nevertheless, the following suggestions might prove useful: *Establish the context clearly and carefully before diving into the main lesson to ensure that students understand the objectives of the task; *Present the grammar by providing sample sentences, explanations, comparing and contrasting with the learners' native language (if possible), offer texts that highlight the target grammar; *Ultimately, the results should be evident in students' written and/or spoken production. Assessing their learning progress through "assessment for learning" can greatly assist in determining the extent to which learning has occurred. Finally, it is beneficial for teachers to reflect on the lesson, preferably immediately after it concludes -for higher retention- to be capable of preparing more productive lessons for the future.

Absolutely! I grew up in an English speaking country but the influence cartoons had on my command of the language is undeniable. Children pick up phrases and even onomatopoeias from shows and use them in their daily conversations.

A new language is development from a basic dialect and is guaranteed to be different a few centuries later than in the beginning. The English laguage, for example, was born through simple tribal dialect and over the years took its form into the language as we know it today from various influences and factors that shape and define it, mainly other languages. Many words and sentence structures have Latin, German, French and various other influances which makes it actually one of the easiest languages to learn.

It is used to describe a place that is “just right” to live. It is usually used to talk about space - for example: “The Earth is not too close to the sun and not too far away; it’s in the Goldilocks zone.” The meaning comes from the children’s story: Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I hope that helps!
