GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF TEACHING ENGLISH AND PRESCHOOL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

This article explores the main goals and objectives of teaching English in preschool educational institutions, emphasizing the importance of early language acquisition in a child’s cognitive and emotional development. The study outlines how introducing English at an early age helps foster curiosity, creativity, and communication skills through play-based and interactive learning activities. It highlights the necessity of creating a positive language environment where children can naturally absorb sounds, words, and basic structures of English. The author discusses pedagogical approaches such as the communicative, game-based, and audiovisual methods, which are essential for maintaining motivation and engagement among preschoolers. Moreover, the article stresses the role of teachers in modeling correct pronunciation, encouraging participation, and using visual aids and songs to enhance retention. The research concludes that well-structured English teaching programs at the preschool level lay a solid foundation for future language learning, shaping not only linguistic competence but also broader cognitive and social abilities.
