Challenging Children, part of the Professional Perspectives series, recognises that teaching young learners is as rewarding as it is challenging. Young learners demand special attention and stimulation if they are to learn effectively. Lessons need to be planned and delivered in such a way that pupils hardly notice that they are learning a new language.

The main aim of Challenging Children is to:

• activivate their linguistic abilities
• generate vocabulary
• arouse their interest in the learning process
