Keywords:
foreign language teaching, young learners, interactive methods, language acquisition,Abstract
Teaching foreign languages to young learners using interactive methods has become an essential approach in modern education. This pedagogical strategy emphasizes active participation, engagement, and communication, fostering a dynamic learning environment. Interactive methods, such as games, role-playing, storytelling, and multimedia tools, encourage learners to use the language in real-life contexts, making the learning process more enjoyable and effective. These techniques not only
enhance language acquisition but also promote cognitive development, social skills, and cultural awareness. By prioritizing interaction, young learners are more likely to retain language skills and develop confidence in using a foreign language. This abstract
explores the benefits and challenges of employing interactive methods in foreign language instruction for young learners, highlighting their potential to create a more engaging, meaningful, and immersive learning experience.
