Successes and Challenges in Meeting the Needs of Young Learners

The TESOL Online Discussions on Key Issues in ELT series is currently raising the issue of ‘Successes and Challenges in Meeting the Needs of Young Learners’. The rapid growth of English language learning worldwide has created opportunities as well as serious challenges regarding language policy, teacher training, and lack of resources in effectively meeting the needs of school-age (K-12) learners.

What has been your experience? What are the successes and/or challenges in your country (or local context) in meeting the needs of young learners? Share your stories, questions, effective practices, and resources with your colleagues worldwide. This online discussion is open to TESOL and TESOL affiliate members and other professionals in the ELT community worldwide. Although this discussion is primarily focused on meeting the needs of school-age learners in EFL contexts, educators working in ESL contexts are also welcome to participate.
