It is universally acknowledge that teaching English for young Learners is an essential foundation to the higher level of education. However, there is no specific major which proposed to English for Young Learners. Thus, every EYL's teacher must know the principle of TEYL ( teaching English for Young Learners) . According to Douglas Brown in his book " Teaching by Priciples an Interactive Approach to Language Pedagogy " there are five aspects which must be obtained by EYL's teacher.

Those five aspects are : intellectual development, attention span, sensory input, affected factor, and authentic language.

Refer to the above theory, my class today performed an interesting conversation between teacher-students , between student and student. The purposed of this activity is to aroused the attention span during the teaching and learning. The class mustn't be dominated by the teacher, each of them must have chance to speak !!.

This opportunity is important to build the confidence, to maintain the attention, to encourage the conversation, and to give them experience on how to apply the sentences in a simple conversation.

Thus, to achieve the goal, I provided two questions ( in previous meeting, I shared two questions asking name and age)

What do you want to be?
What do you like ? ( in order to get the answer I provided some flashcards, kids picked two pictures, hence they would state which one they like and which one they don't like)

Each student has opportunity to be asked and ask. It is very important to make them familiar with the words and the pronunciation. In every meeting, I used warm up classroom with the song from Mike's Home video on You tube "Hello, how are you "?? .. check it out , they looked happy and fun. At the end of the two hours learning, the kids had already sufficient confidence to perform them self in front of their friends.
