I am sorry I late send email, perhaps your think this email is wasting time,but after I met you in the class, I think your subject is interesting because I have a little sister (6 years old), and I want she can speak and understand about English early because in my opinion she is interesting to English language because when I speak/practice English she always asking the meaning.. But the problem, she can't read and easy forget although I have told her many times.. So I hope with your subject I can teach her..

We are Group B.We come from VII A and C.
According to the article which we found, we conclude that there are many appropriate methodology of teaching English for children. Because the children acquire English as second language opportunities for using English when starting lessons changing activities and ending lesson different between teaching young learner and very young learner. In this case, we need to introduce English through colorful picture books, song, interactive games, quizzes and writing techniques. We also need to allow free conversation in the class and encouraging the students to speak more in English to enable them to be generally fluent in speaking English. in addition, we also teach simple grammatical forms through easy to understand, simplified grammar books especially formulated for beginners of English.
