Default Age group problems

Hello,
I need some help from a seasoned ESL teacher please.

I've been asked this question in an application form:
.
.
What should you take into consideration when teaching English as a foreign language to these age groups?
.
3 to 6
.
7 to 10
.
11 to 16
.
17+
.
.
Thanks for any ideas
.

Ages 3-6 Language Acquisition - these are the formative years in language acquistion - a child's cognitive maturity and his or her relationship with adults and children will be of importance. Physical development and lingual development; the development of the voice should be noted.


11-16 - slang terms, English idioms that don't perfectly translate in the other language.
