Course objectives
The seminar will offer activities intended for young learners. It will show particularities of this age and activities appropriate for this group of learners. The participants will learn to consider all aspects of the lesson, to plan the activities and create their own lessons according to different requirements. They will be given the opportunity to confront their own ideas with those of other participants. This is to realize the wide scale of possibilities. The course is aimed to offer a lot of practical ideas to those who have little or no opportunities to work with children.
