How do children handle the language learning process?
Children will develop their own learning strategies when studying a second language. Every child is different and, there are different learners strategies through which all students learn a new language. Each child will usually rely on one of them more: – Visual learner (remembers new language visually) – Kinesthetic learner (remembers new language through movement) – Auditory learner (remembers new language by hearing it) There is nothing to worry about if your child doesn’t sound like an adult or like his classmates. Children are often a lot more resourceful and creative than adults so they will find the right ways to make language work for them, just as you did when you were learning your first language. As regards teenagers, they have even more resources than young learners since they are in the process of mastering their mother tongue.
