Teaching pronunciation to young learners is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of English language instruction. This paper examines effective strategies for helping young EFL learners (ages 6–12) develop accurate and intelligible English pronunciation. Based on classroom observations, teacher interviews, and experimental activities, the study identifies techniques such as songs, chants, phonics, visual aids, and interactive games as highly effective in promoting correct articulation and phonological awareness. Results indicate that engaging and age-appropriate methods not only enhance pronunciation but also increase student motivation and listening skills.
