Especially when dealing with Young Learners teachers cannot continue with the outdated method of chalk and talk or board work only as these students attention span is very limited and can easily get bored. Children likes excitement and hands on experiences goes a long way. This where material comes in , these material can be Authentic those produced for a real purpose and not for the classroom and Non-Authentic, those are a specifically designed for the purpose of teaching and learning. Both has there advantages and disadvantages hence the reason they should be carefully selected before use. In selecting materials the ESL teacher should consider the teaching point, the mechanics of the classroom and one cannot just give an activity sheet to students and just expect them to complete it. Careful instructions and demonstrations must be given.Lesson planning is of vital importance for reasons more than one. It should be carefully structured in the event one is ill and another teacher has to fill in.
