Abstract
This article explores various methods for teaching English to young children, particularly those aged 6-7. At this developmental stage, children benefit from interactive and engaging learning techniques that make language acquisition enjoyable and effective. Key methods discussed include the use of games, songs, storytelling, and visual aids. These methods not only help maintain attention but also support language retention and pronunciation skills. Practical examples and a comparison of methods provide educators and parents with actionable insights to enhance language teaching for young learners.
