Abstract

This study focused on the importance of supporting children's learning of English as a second language in early childhood using practical strategies. The research question focuses on improving children's language skills in order to support their overall development. The aim is to investigate the impact of language development programs on young children's language skills. The methodology involved a six-week intervention program with of 50 preschool children, including storytelling, word-building activities, and music-based exercises with parent participation. The results showed significant improvements in participants' vocabulary, language skills and fluency. Parental involvement plays an important role in supporting children's language development outside of school. The results suggest that a comprehensive intervention program that includes a variety of activities and parental involvement can have a positive impact on children's language learning. Future research could investigate the long-term effects of the intervention.
