teaching English to young learners has become an essential part of modern education systems due to globalization and increasing demand for English proficiency from an early age. This paper explores effective methods and approaches used in teaching English to children, focusing on communicative language teaching, task-based learning, and the use of technology in classrooms. It also highlights the importance of motivation, age-appropriate strategies, and interactive learning environments. Recent educational trends (2025–2026) indicate that blended learning and digital tools significantly improve language acquisition among young learners. The study emphasizes that successful English teaching for children depends not only on methodology but also on teacher creativity and learner engagement.
