Gen Alpha learners are wired differently - literally. They’re digital natives with short attention spans, high visual literacy, and a preference for interactive, personalised learning. There is also a desire to learn more than just English. Using examples from National Geographic Learning’s Impact series, this session explores what defines Gen Alpha learners, why their characteristics demand a shift in ELT methodology, and how teachers can adapt to this change and help them become future-ready. Participants will leave with practical strategies to boost motivation, engagement and language retention, while aligning with Gen Alpha’s values, learning preferences and ensuring they have the skills they need to be future-ready. |
