Teaching English to Kids: A Journey of Fun Learning
The power of play: How games build real language skills
Are you tired of students who know vocabulary but freeze when it's time to speak? You've drilled the words, but true confident communication still feels out of reach. What's the missing piece? Play.
In this episode of Teaching English to Kids: A Journey of Fun Learning, we explore the powerful connection between play-based learning and English learning. We'll move beyond the theory to uncover how games and playful activities create the ideal conditions for language to become automatic and effortless.
Join host Paola Pando as we break down exactly why a simple game is often more effective than a worksheet at building quick recall. We'll discuss the science of how lowering the "affective filter" reduces anxiety and encourages students to take the risks necessary for speaking. Most importantly, we'll provide practical, ready-to-use examples from the ESL classroom that demonstrate how to design activities where the goal is to win, and using English becomes the key tool to do it.
Tune in and discover how to make fluency not just a goal, but an exciting and achievable reality for every young learner.
