Introduction
As English has become the dominant language in the world, it has also become one of the components of tertiary, secondary, primary and even pre-school education in the EFL teaching contexts. It brings a demand for competent English language teachers to teach young language learners.
Ironically, today in Ukraine some English language teachers of young learners teaching in the primary education have never been a young foreign language learner themselves or never experienced being a student in a young learner English class. Besides, the majority of ones with an ELT diploma have not taken a special course, training or education on teaching English to young learners during their undergraduate education.
At the same time, age plays a crucial role in what we teach and how we teach it, since a young learner class is different from an adult and/or a teenager class in terms of the learners’ language learning needs, the language competences emphasized, and the cognitive skills addressed.
Teaching English for young learners, therefore, should be properly handled if it is to be successful. It needs highly skilled and dedicated teaching. Teachers of English for young learners need to have a sound understanding of how students think and operate, that is how young learners learn a language. The textbook “Teaching English in Primary School” will serve as the foundation for the implementation of teaching English to young learners. It is for the fourth-year students of the English department and English teachers.
These recommendations are expected to give insights to English teachers in general and teachers of English for young learners in particular, about the importance of taking into account the aspects related to the way young learners learn in designing their teaching learning process. It aims to provide them with the theoretical and practical aspects of Teaching English to Young Learners. More specifically, the textbook addresses issues related to theories of learning, the learning strategies of young children, teaching-learning activities, the classroom methods and techniques to be used when teaching English in primary school; the development of games, songs and visual materials and their use in teaching and assessment of young English learners.
