Özet

Teaching English to young learners has been one of the most important issues in EFL field recently. Young children need more motivation, enjoyable activities and peaceful atmosphere than adults and their concentration span is very short. They can lose their concentration after ten minutes. Therefore, foreign language teachers who work with young learners should give importance to children's needs. Teachers should plan and prepare their activities as young learners wish in the classroom.
