Abstract
This article contains some helpful ideas to incorporate into the Teaching English to Young
Learners (TEYL) classroom. These ideas come from the discussions and assignments done in an online English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher education course designed for teachers, teacher supervisors, and other TEYL professionals. The participants in the online course came from a number of different classroom situations and countries in the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. Some of the teachers worked in immersion classrooms; others saw their students in class two to three hours per week. Regardless of the country and the types of classrooms these teachers of young learners came from, the list of helpful ideas below seemed to be applicable to most situations.
