Description
Summary:Teaching English to preschool children has become a tendency nowadays. Preschool children have their own style of learning. One of the important activities for children is a classroom project; through this, children tell us their concerns, interests and what they want to learn, so we achieve a real and meaningful learning. Through this monograph, we want to show that through classroom projects children can enhance their language skills of speaking and listening. In Chapter One we present some basic concepts for teaching children from 5-6 years, the psychological characteristics of these children, how they learn a second language in preschool, and suggestions to encourage learning of English as a second language. In Chapter Two we explain how we are going to teach English to children of 5 to 6 years of age, the methodology, and how we can include these methods in the classroom. Finally, in Chapter Three we indicate some models of classroom projects and how to apply them effectively with preschool children. In brief, this monograph contains many practical ideas for developing listening and speaking skills. All the activities suggested here can be adapted and used with preschool children anywhere, by any teacher
