Teaching
English to young learners is not easy as teaching english to adult and
teenagers. It has the goals which we have to reach. There are three main goals
of teaching english to young learners.
The first
goal is content goal. Content goal means that the teacher have to teach them
the content of English such as vocabulary,introduce the function of expression
like the word “excuse me”,”pardon me”, “be careful”,etc.
The second
goal is attitude goal. In the attitude goal, the teacher motivate the student
to learn,encourage them to communicate in English,establish their confidence,and
make them interest in English. It means that the teacher have to make the
students know that English is fun.
The last one
is educational goal. Educational goal include understanding other culture and
understanding speaker of other language. Learning English is not mean that the
learner just know English but they also have to know about the speakers of the
language. The learners have to understand the culture of the English speaker in
order to make them know more about English because culture is related to the
language. Children will not understand the language deeply if they have
negative attitude towards the language and culture.
In
cunclusion, the goals of teaching English to young learners are content goal,
attitude goal, and educational goal.
