Here is another interesting article from OUP ELT team.
To change mindsets is a difficult thing, which is why getting our students to reflect, discuss and consider why one needs responsible behaviour in society is so valuable. It is not necessarily because we ‘should’ or ‘have to’, but rather because it makes sense to. It is also a way of promoting and educating our students about citizenship and the potential actions that they can take.
Helping and supporting one another
At the primary level, young learners (YLs) cannot engage in discussions about what they consider right or wrong, but they can be given examples of responsible behaviour. Introducing the phrase “Who can help me…?” is one easy way of encouraging responsible behaviour and getting YLs used to the idea of helping you. This can be easily extended to “Who can help Adam to…?” so that they also help each other and not only the teacher, while not feeling embarrassed to ask for help themselves.
