Annotation. The article provides recommendation for teaching English to young learners. It is
emphasized that it is important to consider children’s natural tendency to learn a language in
teaching foreign language at an early age.
Key words: Methods of teaching, ability to imitate, smart parenting, repetition.
In a modern society, the language learning depends on an age range. With reference to
psychologists, offspring pick up language both faster and easier than adults. It is important to focus
on the natural tendency of children in order to train a language, as a matter of fact they possess a
considerable ability to imitate, and actually children spend more time than adults are the prime
reasons for this. It ought to be noted that children aged 6-7 do not grasp of the meaning of information,
but memorize it mechanically. Thus teaching English to primary school students should not
commence with giving them a grammatical understanding [2]. If not, it is possible to strain the child
from the primary step of learning a foreign language and extinguish his interest.
Learning English can be started since early childhood age. Before children go to pre- or
elementary school, children will spend a lot of time at home. The children mostly interact with their
parents. In this case parents act as the English teacher even they are not teachers.
According to research from the Primrose school, five effective methods of teaching English to
young learners at home have been considered [4]. Second language acquisition is not limited to the
classroom – it is easy to practice through play-based activities at home!
Here are tips from experts Anna Hall, Lynn Louise Wonders and Dr. Gloria Julius to help
expand your child’s second language learning at home:
Let learning happen naturally. Avoid pressuring your children to study, practice or learn new
words. Instead by incorporating simple second language activities for preschoolers into your
daily routine. Attempting singing songs or reciting nursery rhymes in another language, watch
bilingual TV shows and movies together, and play board games that include two languages.
Encourage your child to be the teacher. One of the best ways for a child to truly learn something
is to help teach someone else. Ask your little one to give a lesson based on what he has learned
in the classroom and you will boast his confidence in the process.
Use positive reinforcement. Provide positive encouragement when your child makes an effort
to learn or practice her second language, using reflective statements like “Wow, you must have
been playing very close attention to the lesson in order to recollect that! or “It is amazing that
you know how essential it is to train.
Create journals together. Join your child in their foreign language and commence to learning
your own multilingual skills! Learn new words with your child and then create journals together
of the vocabulary you have absorbed.
Read together. Bilingual books can expand your child’s vocabulary and help them develop an
awareness and appreciation of different cultures. They either provide side-by-side text or
intersperse non-English words throughout the story [1].
Managing interaction between parents and children at home is very important because mostly
the children spend a lot of time at home. Scheduling the children’s activities can make a good
habituation for the children [3]. Children mostly spend their time with playing and sleeping. In the
golden age, the activities for the children are running fast. Many activities can be carried out in this
sequence time such as reading a story book, drawing a picture, coloring, singing, dancing, listening
music, watching TV, playing games, or guessing vocabulary at home
