TEACHING ACROSS AGE LEVELS

Everybody knows that teaching children, teens and adults are not the same. Therefore, teachers cannot use the same techniques for each age levels because each level is totally different to the others. They should not be ready only in a specific level. Either adults or children have the same right for learning if they want to. Moreover, each age levels have different ways to see the life, for example adults take their studies very serious, but some children and teens see their studies like something that they must to do and pass. 

Teaching children

Children are full of energy, and their brain is young and fresh. Moreover, they don't have responsibilities that affect them (in the majority of cases) the teacher has to take advantage of that energy and canalize it. Children learn better when they are motivated; for that reason, teacher should motivate their students, creating an atmosphere of confidence.

Teaching adults

In teaching adults, the teachers can use some principles of teaching children but in different way because adults cannot be treating like children. They have acquired a self-confidence that teachers cannot find in children. Moreover, they are more able to handle abstract rules and concepts, adults with their more developed abstract thinking ability, are better able to understand a context-reduced segment of language.

Teaching teens

Teachers have to consider to students that are in a stage of transition, confusing, self-consciousness, growing, and changing body and minds. On the other hand, they are in between childhood and adulthood. This age level is a little complicated because they have to design a special set of considerations apply to teaching them. Moreover, students in this age levels are able to abstract operational thought and to increase capacities for abstraction lessen the essential nature of appealing to all five senses.
