• Challenges Faced by English Language Teachers in Teaching Young Learners (2026) · doi

  Based on the findings of the study, several recommendations can be proposed to improve English language teaching for young learners. 1. Educational authorities should organize continuous professional development programs for English language teachers. These programs should focus on classroom management, communicative teaching methods, child psychology, and lesson planning. 2. Schools should provide modern educational resources and technological tools such as projectors, computers, audio materials, educational games, and internet access to support interactive learning. 3. Curriculum designers should develop child-centered English language curricula that focus on communication, creativity, and meaningful language use instead of memorization. 4. Teachers should use interactive teaching strategies including games, storytelling, songs, roleplaying, pair work, and group activities to increase learners’ motivation and participation. 5. Educational institutions should reduce classroom overcrowding whenever possible in order to improve classroom management and provide individual support for learners. 6. Teachers should apply differentiated instruction strategies to address learners’ individual differences and educational needs. 7. Parents should be encouraged to participate actively in their children’s English language learning by supporting reading activities, educational games, and positive learning habits at home. 8. Assessment methods should focus on practical language use and communication skills rather than relying only on written examinations and memorization. 9. Educational policymakers should support educational research related to teaching English to young learners in order to identify classroom problems and improve teaching quality. 10. Schools should create positive and supportive learning environments that help children feel confident, motivated, and emotionally secure during language learning.
