generation alpha in the esl/esol/tefl classroom

Do we know what the Generation Alpha is all about?

We need to look out for the Gen Alpha Characteristics To Know For 2025:

They’re still in school, but don’t be fooled - Gen Alpha are already steering spending decisions, redefining what fun looks like, and making their presence felt across screens, stores, and society.

Born from 2010 onwards, they’re the world’s youngest generation, but they’ve got plenty to say. And thanks to over 20,000 kids across 18 global markets telling us exactly what’s on their minds, we’ve got a front-row seat to what they think, feel, and do.

But first we need to ask Generation Alpha: What Is It? Is It Real?

And then we can look at: What do Gen Z and Generation Alpha want from their education and beyond?

The E L Gazette tells us about Generation Alpha in the Classroom: New Approaches to Learning - looking at a new book just out:


Firstly, a few questions. Over their careers, how many generations of learners and their various attributes are language teachers expected to be able to understand and react to? How, when and why did Generation Z expire? Lastly, how is Generation Alpha (GA) different to the previous ones? These were just a few of my thoughts before I opened this title.
