I realized that a teacher should have energy and patience when teaching. It is also critical that all activities match the characteristics of each learner. Lastly, establishing a connection and relationship with your students as a teacher is vital.
After watching this video, I realized that teaching young students can be difficult, but rewarding. Recognizing their characteristics can contribute to an effective classroom. It is also added here that activities and approaches are developmentally appropriate, such as using stories and games in class can help keep it interesting and exciting. Thank you for this informative video. I learned a lot.

I used to teach my mother’s godchild last summer, and I could say that teaching young learners is INDEED challenging compared to teaching students in high school. It was also draining since I needed to exert all my energy just to keep her attention. At the same time, I needed to make use of all the materials at home to make visually-appealing instructional aids. I am grateful that this video provided more strategies so that I can effectively teach young learners in the future.

Watching the video made me remember the time I was given the chance to teach grade 2 pupils during my work immersion during Grade 12. It was a tiring experience but I had fun since the children were very active and energetic. I remember playing a guessing game with them where they had to guess the actions their classmate was doing as an activity in teaching verbs and their past tense. Indeed, it is important that in young learners to be interested and pay attention, they have to be engaged in fun and interactive activities.
Energetic, talkative, always moving, short span attention, highly participative, good listeners
Through this 4-minute video, I learned that young learners have general characteristics that teachers should always keep in mind in order to develop lessons that are appropriate for the children's current level. Thank you for this!

Through this video, I realized that the teacher-student relationship plays an essential role in effective learning. Appropriate planning and material making always start with knowing the learners' characteristics. Because of this, teachers should be able to assess the children's qualities and behaviors to provide developmentally appropriate activities for the class.
Escueta, Michael Angelo C.

This video enlightened me on the different activities that respond to each characteristic of children. To establish this, I must learn first what are the characteristics of young learners and this video had taught me about them. I think this also links to the fact that a teacher must be able to know what the learners need before constructing any material. It should be developmentally appropriate.

This video is extremely beneficial to me as a pre-service teacher. Because it is brief, interactive, and precise, I loved viewing the video. From now on, I'll be watching your vids.

As a future teacher, this video helps us better understand young learners and their characteristic. This is crucial especially when it comes to teaching language as it will affect their way or process of learning. (Velasco, Fatima Rhoe, III-3 BEE)
I find this video helpful especially that I teach young learners every Wednesday in the Community Learning Hub. I can attest that all the mentioned characteristics are true especially the short attention span and kinesthetic because whenever I teach my tutee to read (although I am not really into young learners haha!), after a couple of minutes, she would like to just play a clay, draw, or just go around the four corners of the room and talk to her classmates. This video, indeed, gave me an idea of what activities I should give my tutee on Wednesday. Thank you, Sir!

The younger the learners the bigger the needed realia, or materials needed for the class. Unlike students who are more mature and aware, children can get distracted easily especially if lessons are boring. This video is a great reminder on what we need to understand about children and how us teachers can effectively plan and strategize when teaching them.
Lansangan, Giana Nicole A.

This video clearly describes children's characteristics. Due to this, I already imagine how challenging my teaching experience in the future would be. Also, I am inspired to take the challenge and be effective by coming up with developmentally-appropriate activities and materials.
Grañada, Kattlea P.

Every characteristic of a young learner mentioned in this video is legitimately relatable. I have little nephews who exhibit the same characteristics. Therefore, I realized that teachers should always consider young learners’ traits to be aware of the materials and activities that will be employed in the classroom. This explains why developmentally appropriate tasks are needed to foster effective learning.
TAN, Mark Joseph R.
BEE III-3
The characteristics mentioned are truly observable in young children. I remember my cousins' children acting like this when they were younger, and I also remember my cousins complaining about how difficult it is to teach them or help them with their homework. The methods mentioned for each characteristic would have been helpful then.

After watching this video, I realized that understanding the characteristics of young learners contributes to establishing an effective and positive learning environment. Designing learning activities that are developmentally appropriate for them is also essential since they must suit the characteristics of the learners.
Fondevilla, Erika Celine T.

After watching this video I learned that your teaching strategy should be appropriate, which means that when you teach you take into account the current level of young learners, as there are children who are curious and imaginative, learners who have short attention spans and learners who are kinesthetic in lesson preparation, they have one thing in common.
Raotraot, John Stephen G.

This video made me realized that teaching should always be learner-centered. It is important that the activities and strategies you integrate in your lesson are based on their characteristics.

This discussion is really important for every future teachers as it allows them to know the importance of identifying the characteristics of the students. Another consideration is that children are different from each other which only shows that activities varies depending on their preferences or learning style. This would be extremely beneficial in creating an effective learning environment that focuses and improves each student's skill.

This video highlights the importance of preparing activities that is developmentally appropriate for our young learners. How sweaty we are after every class after either using big gestures or letting them out of the classroom or both, it's great to see when we see our children enjoy and learn something.
MENDOZA, Louise Francis
III-2 BEE
During the brainstorm, I wrote down: easily distracted, imaginative, energetic, learn by doing, and spontaneous. As teachers, we should be able to recognize and understand the characteristics of learners at different stages. This will help us develop activities that address the learner’s needs for development.

What I like about the video most is how she delivered the information with a lot of examples that we can use as preservice teachers in the future.
MENDOVA, Roselle Grace S.

Indeed, children actually can't focus on one thing as they want to explore and learn as they've driven by their active minds and curiosity. so, teachers must plan and strategize how their student should take their focus on one task at a specific time. Through this, teachers will be able to build a good relationship with the learners that will allow them to effectively impart knowledge. Thanks for this video, Prof!

Such an informative video as it helps us understand the characteristics of young learners and how we, as language teachers, teach the language effectively. (Hermosura, III-3)
I once used to pick up my mom from her school and would sometimes help out during her last few minutes of class. I happened to be wearing a watch necklace and immediately the children were curious. The following day I was wearing a shirt with cats, and the next, I had been reading a book to a child before they were all gathered around me. I think it certainly does require a lot of energy, but it is indeed rewarding to see them so eager to learn about different things.

This video informs us of the different characteristics of young learners that we must know and tips on how us, future educators respond. For instance, we must think of ways on how to make our learning and discussion runs well and young learners to not get bored easily. We must have caught their attention throughout the discussion.
Thank you for this informative video and some tips that I can use when I am in the field.

These characteristics perfectly describe my young cousins. It is truly challenging yet fun to teach them. Thank you for this!

Teaching children is really hard work. It takes a lot of energy and patience to be able to handle their behavior. I taught third grade students during my SHS OJT, and they were very energetic. Most of them could not sit still and kept begging me for games. Honestly, it drained me, and I almost gave up. Since the classroom was field with diverse learners, I had to think of engaging activities every day. It was difficult at first, but I got the hang of it when I got to know them more. It's really important to know your learners and be knowledgeable about what they need and enjoy.

The key to creating good lesson plans and activities is knowing whether they are appropriate to the learners. This really should be taken into consideration in whatever the teacher does inside the classroom. Thank you.

As we develop learning materials and design teaching approaches, we need to consider these characteristics of our young learners. Optimum learning will only be achieved in the classroom if the materials we used are developmentally appropriate. This concise video lecture mentioned specific strategies such as story telling, playing simon says in the class, and using video materials. These are very helpful for us pre-service teachers!
Crisologo, Andrea P.

I wrote cheerful, attention, visualizer , creative and curious.
This is fun! Other words of teaching them, Teachers can enjoy in the activities and watch them play and grow.This is brings me back in my elementary days too.
teaching young learners requires a teacher who is innovative and active to keep learners engaged throughout the lesson
Knowing the characteristics of our learners is truly a must in order to make an effective classroom. We also need to make sure that the activities and approaches we plan to use are developmentally appropriate to their level. Thanks a lot for this!

During the 15 seconds brainstorm, I wrote creative, eager, and lively. In the video, I learned that the characteristics of young learners are important because we need to prepare activities and approaches to match it. I will always remember to understand learners' characteristics because it will enable me to make an effective learning in the classroom.

I like the emphasis on the term "developmentally-appropriate." It does targets what a teacher basically needs to understand in order to craft activities which only suit what learners actually need.
Labadan, Daphne M.
BEE III-2
Yes, impatient and moving around! all the time! If a teacher does not have energy, it will be difficult to teach Young Learners!
enthusiastic, physical movement and talkative
Children's behaviors when they feel boredom or agitation should not be seen as something "disruptive" or "unruly" because that's how they brains are wired for effective learning. It should be a sign for teachers to make sure their activities fit their characteristics as they are still developing and actively learning!
Gaurano, Tricia Nicole B.

Thank you. Informative, not only by words but interaction as well.
It is critical that we, as teachers, recognize and know our students' needs and traits in order to provide instructional materials, tactics, and activities that encourage students to listen and learn more attentively.
Delos Reyes, Nhivrazzir M. - III-1 BEE
This video made me aware of young learner's characteristics and the importance of knowing those as a future teacher. As teachers, it is imperative to always ensure that student's effective learning should be our utmost priority and always do our activities and approaches based on their characteristics.

I enjoy it.
Thank you for the help.
This is just what I've desired to lear. I wanted to learn how to catch the attention of young learners and how to teach them effectively, as I often struggle to teach my nieces when they are too distracted. (I initially intended to major in early childcare instead of English before)

Understanding the characteristics of Young Learners is very crucial in effective teaching. Knowing their attitudes and behaviours may help teachers create instructional materials which will help these learners learn what they need.
John Paul L. Lozano (BEE III-3; Term 3, S.Y. 2022-2023)
It's true that teaching young children can be difficult because of their short attention span. My neighbors have 2 children, 3 and 5 years old if I'm not mistaken. When I was playing with them, I tried teaching them the alphabet and other things, but they won't sit still so I had to catch their attention like, getting a toy then I would tell them I will give it to them if they answer my question. So, this video is helpful to me in teaching them.

Thank you for this informative video. It is indeed that children are easily distracted when it comes to learning. As future educator, I must apply everything I've learn in this video. I should think about their characteristics and make activities and approaches match them.
Paulino, Angelikha P.

What I realized is that no matter what characteristics our young learners possess, as long as we make our teaching developmentally-appropriate and consider how they learn and develop, we can create an effective classroom for them.

Play is vital in children's learning and development. This approach would provide an opportunity for them to explore, interact and enjoy while learning.

While teaching young students that display a variety of characteristics, it is important to think about the activities and methods that would work best for them. Since at this level of their learning, it is fundamental.
Maunes, Elmer S

It is indeed vital that we, as teachers, know and understand our learners' needs and characteristics for us to develop instructional materials, strategies, and activities that would engage the learners to listen and learn more attentively.
Bulledo, Xena Cristine Mae G.

I believe that it would be really fun and tiring teaching children as they are full of energy that is why I do agree with Ms. Shin that is important that we acknowledge our students characteristics in developing activities so that they could learn more effectively.

It is important that we know how learners 'learn' by being aware of their different characteristics and even temperaments in the class. In this way, we'll have flexibility in strategizing developmental activities that take advantage of these characteristics.

Hello! I'm Jessica from Brazil. I wrote curious, happy, anxious and energetic.
I wrote playful, creative, and weird (in a good way) describing young learners. They have different points of view, given that they are still a child. They ask many questions, and a teacher might need to have answers to all of them, so that is why a safe and conducive learning environment for the student must also be established.
Bollosa, Angelo U.

Young learners are quite difficult to work with due to their very active and jittery characteristics. That is why in order to create an effective classroom for young learners, we must design our instructional materials in a way where it caters the different traits of our students, paving the way for efficient and fruitful discussions.
Edquilane, Kenneth Brian D.

great video
It is requisite for teachers to understand how young children learn and develop. This is so that we could devise developmentally appropriate strategies that would allow them to learn through play, quick and exciting activities, and effective yet imaginative lessons.
Borines, Chloe June L.
BEE III-1
yes, I did write curious and imaginative on my paper. 😀
My students are from 2 to 5 years. I found a challenge to keep their attention. Would you mind links or videos about more games to very young learners? Please.
