Training To Teach English As A Second Language To Young Learners

English, as a language has evolved tremendously and gained importance over the years. To be able to speak the language fluently has become our principle asset and increasingly essential for communication. I t is important to track the Young Learners and expose them to a new language at an early age as it is believed that the younger the learner the faster is the capacity to learn a new language. There are a number of schools who introduce English, as a second language from a very early age. But the approach is slightly faulty, in the sense that these schools lay emphasis on Reading and Writing rather than Listening and Speaking. The Pre and Primary Teacher training Course conducted by the American TESOL Institute, stresses on the importance of the Listening and Speaking Skills. . A lot of importance is given to fluency rather than accuracy. The primary teacher training course has been designed keeping in mind the requirements and benefits of a language learning class.
