DTDS: Teaching Children how to Learn

Teaching children how to learn is a groundbreaking book offering Primary language teachers a new and practical methodology based on the importance, now universally recognized in curricula around the world, of teaching children how to learn. Teaching children how to learn comes from authors Gail Ellis, British Council adviser on Young Learners and Quality for the EU region, and Nayr Ibrahim, Head of Young Learners and Bilingual Section at the British Council, Paris. The authors are passionate about learning to learn and in Teaching children how to learn they aim to help teachers create the optimum conditions for children to reach their full potential as enthusiastic and motivated language learners. Teaching children how to learn contains three distinctive parts which take teachers through a step-by-step approach to understanding, implementing and reflecting on learning to learn. It shows how learning to learn can be achieved through a Plan, Do, Do More, Review and Share routine.
