Learner Centered Teaching for Kindergarten EFL

"Student-centered learning, also known as learner-centered education, broadly encompasses methods of teaching that shift the focus of instruction from the teacher to the student". Wikipedia

                Students are the focus of our lesson plan.

Student-centered learning

Hands on activities for reviewing the unit is a lot more fun than just watching a video over and over again. I always have several games available for each unit to give students the chance to pick ones they want to play as the wrap of the lesson.

For example, for the Circus unit here are four games that students can play alone or with a partner. Just walk around and give guidance.

Students learn at their own pace, give them time to acquire the new language. Give multiple opportunities to learn with different materials with active participation.Plan different activities for the different levels that you might have in your class. For example, the worksheets can be done by themselves following simple instructions using their imagination and creativity.

Some students might want to do even more with the animal’s face and cut it up. There is space for students that are more advanced in the same classroom and would like to do more things. I am just providing an example.

Engage students into projects or crafts to enhance creativity. Students can color or design the clothes to put on each character. They get to choose the color of each clothing and how they want to dress them.


I am sure that you can think of more ideas and activities for teaching your students by keeping them as the focus of learning.

Circus Unit for the Elementary ELL

This is the next level to my last post at my other blog, more for the students in the Elementary grades.

 Get everything here:
 Let´s start with the flashcards

Distribute a Circus flashcard to each student. Have the students name each Circus animal ,Circus character or food. Say the category. Student:  It´s the acrobat.  Person.
Student:  It´s the elephant.  Animal
                                                   
Have the students  sort the flashcards into people and animals on the board.

Have the students  sort the Circus Flashcards as in Person, place or things and introduce the concept of noun in English.

Students can do their own sorting using the printables. Print as many as you need for Person, place or thing. The templates can be used as cards. Have the students sort them into person, place or thing.
Circus Verbs Flashcards. I had these lovely clown clip art and thought of Flashcards to play some games.
Circus verbs Book. To review what the students learned with the flashcards. There are 28 pictures of the clown and the sentence, it can be used as a game, but the students can have fun matching and pasting the sentences to the pictures. Put them together and make a class book to take home by turns and read to the parents.
Worksheet . I did this one for preschoolers but I like to do labeling with the worksheets, it is a way to extend the activity a little bit more.
