The document compares how to teach language to different age levels. It discusses that children have shorter attention spans than adults, learn best through active and engaging activities, and are focused on the present. It notes some myths that children have no inhibitions and learn language best when it is immediately useful, instead emphasizing the need for patience, encouragement, and making mistakes comfortable. Finally, it states that while children learn best through context, adults can learn from more abstract approaches due to superior cognitive abilities and self-confidence.
