The document summarizes a TKT YL session on learning strategies for language learners. It discusses how children learn differently than adults and activities teachers use to adjust. Participants are asked to match teacher comments with activity descriptions and strategies with examples. The session also involves bringing a useful material/activity used in courses to share and explaining the rationale for its use.
