Abstract
This article explores effective strategies for teaching young learners a foreign language, focusing particularly on how children naturally acquire their first language and how these processes can inform early foreign language instruction. Drawing on personal observations, developmental linguistics, and characteristics of young learners, the author emphasizes the importance of early and rich language exposure. The article discusses children’s innate abilities such as interpreting meaning through gestures, intonation, and context, as well as their creativity and imagination, which make them highly receptive to language learning. It highlights the role of multiple intelligences and the need to adapt teaching methods to diverse learner profiles. The author also shares practical techniques used outside the classroom to increase children’s exposure to English and enhance motivation through natural communication.
