Generation Alpha in the Classroom. New Approaches to Learning

This review examines Generation Alpha in the Classroom by Erika Galea and Olga Sayer, a timely and practice-oriented volume that explores the educational, cognitive, and socio-emotional traits of children born after 2010. Drawing from neuroscience and educational research, the book outlines implications for classroom practice across six key domains: attention, teamwork, technology, flexibility, motivation, and global awareness. Particular attention is given to foreign language learning, where the integration of multimodal resources, digital tools, and social-emotional learning emerges as especially relevant. While the volume provides robust, evidence-based strategies for teaching Generation Alpha, it also highlights the challenge of applying these in under-resourced contexts. Overall, this work offers a comprehensive and accessible guide for educators navigating the complexities of contemporary learning environments.
