The results of the analysis from the book Scott and Ytreberg

1. How are teacher's characteristics to young learners? Have a sense of humour, open-minded, adaptable, patient, etc.
2. How do teachers build physical surrounding to YL? To build physical surrounding put as much on the wall, such as calendar, posters, postcards, pupils' drawings, writing, etc. Have plants, animals, any kind of interesting object, anything which adds character to the room, but still leaves space to work. 
3. How do teachers arrange the desks in YL classroom? There are 3 ways to arrangement the desk in classromm. First, Arrangement A (can teach the class easily and can have group work for some of the time, with class working in groups as four. It is good for pupil to sit in group then much more natural for them to talk to each other.), Second, Arrangement B (works for individual and whole class work. This arrangement doesn't encourage natural of the pupil communication since pupil only see the back of the heads of pupil in front of them) and Last, arrangement C (works in the same way as Arrangement B. But more flexible and leaves with space in the middle of the classroom)
4. How do teachers group the YL? Pairwork (very useful and efficient way of working in language teaching. Simple to organise and easy to explain and group work shouldn't be attempted before the children are use to working in twos first.) Groupwork (which has been said about pairwork, applies to groupwork. We cannot put the children into groups, give them an exercise and assume thet it will work.)
5. How is classroom language used in YL classroom? Do the word for all the things in the classroom. Have pictures to help the children with more common words. Try to speak English as much of the time as you can. Keep your language simple but natural and keep it at their level.
