EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING ENGLISH GRAMMAR TO YOUNG LEARNERS

Teaching English grammar to young learners presents specific challenges because children learn differently from adults. Traditional rule-based instruction may not be engaging or effective for this age group. Instead, it is pedagogically beneficial to incorporate interactive, contextualized, and student-centered methods. This paper analyzes effective strategies for teaching English grammar to young learners, combining theoretical foundations with current research findings. It discusses cognitive characteristics of young learners, inductive learning, communicative and game-based activities, visual and technological support, and constructive error correction. The integration of research-based methods increases learner engagement and enhances both grammatical accuracy and communicative competence.
