Learner training can be started with students as young as 5 years old, and this article contains learner training activities that you could try with your young learners.

'Lost your voice' is like a role play activity with no dialogue. It needs a little bit of preparation time to write out the 'problem cards', and you can imagine any scenario where functional language would be used, such as at the train station, in a restaurant or at the shops. Then just set the scene by telling the students where they are.

'Put yourself in the picture' is a speaking task that encourages students to empathise with other people and try to understand them better. The activity uses a number of visuals of migrants, and the students have to imagine they are the person in the picture. The activity is based on themes from the British Council OPENCities project.
