Since young learners have limited attention spans, it is important to include several short activities in a lesson and to move quickly from one activity to another. Activities of five to ten minutes in length are most successful. A balance between the following kinds of activities is often useful:
Quiet / noisy activities.
Different skills: listening, talking, reading / writing.
Individual work / pair work / group work / whole-class activities.
Teacher–pupil / pupil–pupil activities.
