VARIOUS ACTIVITIES IN TEACHING ENGLISH FOR YOUNG LEARNERS

Abstract

Abstract: Teaching English to young learners has become a trend nowadays. In some schools,
English has been taught as a local content subject. Teaching young learners is not like teaching
adults because children have their own way of learning. Young learners need to feel secure and
know that there are some obvious reasons for learning English. Therefore, teachers have to
motivate them to learn as much as possible in order to be able to communicate fluently using
English. Since children like to play and have fun, the learning and teaching process should be
suitable with the characteristics of the children themselves. Various forms of fun activities for
children are important for their learning and development. This paper will discuss various
activities in teaching young learners which could enhance their language skills.
