Description

In this eye-opening episode of Talking ELT, we dive into the defining traits of Generation Alpha—students born into a world of digital immersion and rapid change. Our expert guests explore how Gen Alpha's brains are neurologically wired for fast-paced, tech-driven learning, and how their dopamine-driven motivation and cognitive flexibility shape classroom behavior.

 

Discover how educators can adapt to these shifts, redefine their roles, and harness Gen Alpha’s strengths for more effective teaching. Perfect for teachers, parents, and education professionals seeking to understand the future of learning.
