Things to bear in mind..

As stated in the document standard, the aim of teaching English in the primary school is to equip students with basic language skills to enable them to communicate effectively in a variety of contexts that is appropriate to the pupils’ level of development. According to Piaget (1954), 7 years old children are in Concrete Phase where the children start to have the ability to use logical thought or operation. However the logic can be only be apply on physical objects.

Here are the milestone to expect from the children as stated by www.greatschools.org:

• uses a vocabulary of several thousand words
• demonstrates a longer attention span
• uses serious, logical thinking; is thoughtful and reflective
• able to understand reasoning and make the right decisions
• can tell time; knows the days, months, and seasons
• can describe points of similarity between two objects
• begins to grasp that letters represent the sounds that form words
• able to solve more complex problems
• individual learning style becomes more clear-cut

As for that, every teacher including me must apply a few strategies to make sure the effectives of every lesson. First, a teacher  must make sure that teaching/learning experience is fun, meaningful and purposeful. Second, every lesson must cater each students' need (refer to multiple intelligent) and must always using student-centered learning. Lastly, a teacher must aware that the students were born and live in IT world. A teacher must incorporate IT devices in lessons.
