Characteristics of young learners
Enthusiasm for learning is intensively displayed by young learners. They are curious about everything what surrounds them and this positive attitude towards acquiring a foreign language should be praised.
Characteristics of adolescent learners
Against the deceptive perception of today’s teenagers, not all of them behave inappropriately. Most of them can understand that learning is needed in life, and additionally, accomplish the given tasks. What is more, they are able to discuss abstract issues with the teacher. According to Harmer (2007: 84), “there is almost nothing more exciting than a class of involved young people at this age pursuing a learning goal with enthusiasm.” The teacher’s role is to encourage learners to learn by preparing adequate materials concerning their interests or even “to provoke student engagement with material which is relevant and involving”
Characteristics of adult learners
There are many special characteristics concerning adult language learners. Some of them are really helpful during English classes, but some part of them is rather offending or even worrying. The method consists of coordination of two elements: speech and action. According to Asher, Total Physical Response is a natural way of teaching English. Also we need some international methods for comparing.
Method appropriate for adolescents – Direct Method
The Direct Method is one of the oldest methods of teaching English. The main point of this method is not to use a native language.
Method appropriate for adults – Grammar-translation
Grammar-translation method is believed to be appropriate for teaching adults. Demanding a sense of humour and mobility TPR is a method which doesn’t have to suit all of the adults; many of them, especially the older ones, will insist on using grammar-translation methods or at least cognitive methods” (Komorowska, 2005: 35). This not new method of teaching English was firstly called the Classical Method.
This name has special origin; grammar-translation method was used in the teaching of the classical languages like Greek or Latin. In conclusion, appropriate teaching methods, techniques but also, really useful and effective, games and game-like activities are indispensible element of English language lessons. All of these components conduce to successful process of learning. That is why it is important to select them thoroughly and reasonably in terms of learners abilities adapted to the particular age group.
