Much of the distinctiveness of Generation Alpha can be attributed to their brain development. As digital natives, they are exposed to an overwhelming amount of information and stimuli from a very young age. Numerous studies, as detailed throughout Generation Alpha in the Classroom: New approaches to learning, indicate that their brains are adapting to this constant influx by developing stronger task-switching abilities and enhanced visual-spatial skills. This exposure also affects their attention span, making them more adept at rapidly processing and interpreting information, but often less capable of sustained focus on a single activity for extended periods.. Teachers might observe that:.They cannot concentrate for more than one reel on social mediaThey are incredibly quick learnersThey get bored easilyThey acquire new digital skills in the blink of an eyeThey are great collaborators but want to be independentThey are often more tech-savvy than their teachers or parents They need teachers’ guidance, presence, and support in learning English – like any other learners..
