THE PARTICULARS OF INSTRUCTING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT A YOUNG DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE

Abstract

There are unique considerations when teaching a foreign language to young children. This is mainly because of the age-related traits of children, or more accurately, the quirks in their mentality and way of thinking. The foundation of all foreign language instruction for kids is emotional saturation in the classroom, integration into the natural world, rejection of rule-explanation and translation, and so forth. A child's development of academic motivation and speech competency is the ultimate goal of the process of learning a foreign language.
