Fun English For Kids: How to teach English to very young children
Many nurseries and pre-school classes in Paraguay offer English as part of their curriculum.
However, there is a lack of teachers who have the skill to teach it. FEISA Teacher Training
College, Asunción, aims to provide its trainee teachers with the necessary training in order to
improve the provision of English to this age group in Paraguay.
This document has been written with these trainee teachers in mind. However, other teachers
who have been asked to teach English to pre-school children may also be unsure how to start. I
hope it will prove useful to everyone who comes looking for help.
It is the fruit of three years teaching English to Spanish children (aged 3-6) in a state primary school in Salamanca, alongside research I have since done on teaching languages to young children. As such, it is by no means exhaustive or perfect!
I do not claim to be an expert in this field and am very open to all suggestions and constructive criticism. Please take the information contained here and add to it, change it in any way you decide is necessary. I would ask that, in order to help fellow teachers, you would let me know how it works for you; what you like, what you don’t like, what changes you make.
