For several years now in our country, foreign languages have been compulsory from the 2nd grade. Many parents even before school begin to take their child to English class. Thus, there is an increasing demand for teachers who specialise in early language learning. However, not every teacher, even with a pedagogical university diploma, has the necessary knowledge and skills to work with children in a kindergarten or elementary school. Failure to understand the principals of foreign language acquisition by a child can lead to a loss of interest in learning a language from the very beginning. Everything seems too confusing and complicated: transcription, grammar tables, long uninteresting texts, passages of meaningless words, lists of unknown words to memorize, and so on. It goes without saying that children need to be taught differently, not like adults. This is a world in itself, with its own methodology and secrets. This is the knowledge and the secrets our experts are ready to share with you.
