TEACHING ENGLISH TO A1 LEVEL LEARNERS THROUGH RHYME
Abstract
This article explores the effectiveness of using rhymes and songs in teaching English to young learners. The importance of teaching English as a foreign language to young learners needs a special approach because young learners have unique characteristics and their own learning styles. Songs, chants, and rhymes are examples of enjoyable activities for children. The main goal of this article is to highlight the importance of using rhymes and songs in teaching English as a foreign language to young learners. Their functions, criteria for election, and ways of presenting them to the class will also be analyzed. Since English has become an international language, more and more people are learning English, and they are learning it at an early age.
