Teaching English to preschool and primary school learners requires special methodological approaches that correspond to children’s cognitive, psychological, and emotional development. Early foreign language instruction plays a crucial role in forming positive attitudes toward language learning and developing basic communicative skills. This article analyzes effective methods of teaching English to young learners, including play-based learning, Total Physical Response, songs, storytelling, and visual-based instruction. The study demonstrates that interactive and multisensory methods significantly increase learners’ motivation, language retention, and communicative competence.
