The Method of Teaching Young Learners : Helen Doron Method

It is extremely difficult to keep the young learners concentrated for a significant amount of time; they seem to lose their attention very easily and tend to get bored.

There are a number of ways by which one can keep these young learners entertained.
Funny sounds can be made and the tone of voice can be raised or declined. Funny words help a lot as well. Physical comedy means doing funny activities so that children stay excited. The key with young learners is to have fun all the time and surprise them with new ways.

Helen Doron was an educator and a linguist and the early English educational system that she developed was the first in the world. Through this method, children as young as three months learn English just the way they learn their first language or mother tongue. Around one million children have learned English through this method.

The programs using this method have a twelve year curriculum starting for children from three months till fourteen years. Courses are designed for small after-school groups, kindergarten and also for early elementary classes. The materials used are flashcards, stories, workbooks, games, story cards, etc.
