Teaching English to preschool children has become increasingly important in the context of globalization and early childhood education. At the preschool stage, children acquire language naturally through play, interaction, and sensory experiences. This article discusses effective methods of teaching English to preschool learners, focusing on age-specific characteristics, communicative approaches, play-based learning, and the role of visual and auditory materials. The study highlights the importance of creating a positive emotional environment and using interactive techniques to enhance language acquisition.
