INTRODUCTI
ON
INTRODUCTION
The development of foreign language teaching
materials for young learners is a distinct field in
several ways. This is distinctive because in the
last 20 years there has been a massive increase
both in the amount of research dedicated to
finding out what does and does not facilitate
foreign language acquisition by young learners
and in the number of courses published for
young learners.

THE LITERATURE
There is some research-based literature that has been
examined by several researchers such as the case
studied by Ghosn in 2003. He acknowledged that
textbooks "often are the only exposure to English,
apart from the teacher, that students receive" and he is
what teachers and students actually do. students with
their textbooks in class. He reports on a “non-
experimental exploratory study in six elementary
school classrooms in Lebanon”, in which he found
qualitatively and statistically relevant differences
between the group taking a textbook-based course
and the group taking a “literature-based course”.

MATERIALS FOR
MAKE MAXIMUM USE OF
STORIES
In our materials we have tried to stimulate young
learners to write stories by:
1. Visualization activities
2. Write continuations of stories heard or read
3. Write notes of personal experiences
4. Do a story circle with each member of the
circle writing one sentence on a piece of
paper and then passing it on to the next
student in the circle
TPR PLUS
Total Physical Response (TPR) is an English learning
method that is suitable for early childhood where
learning prioritizes activities that are directly related to
physical activity and movement. This involves the
teacher telling a dramatic, whimsical, or humorous story,
which the students act out as told, or the teacher telling
the students how to cook a delicious meal and the
students cooking it (with ingredients they are asked to
bring from home), or the teacher hiding candy all over
the school grounds and students listening to clues and
then going off in groups to look for candy, or even the
teacher "dictating" a mural and students painting it on
the classroom wall.
GAMES
Playing is an activity that involves thoughts, perceptions, social and
physical skills through interactions between individuals and groups
as learning material (Darmadi, 2018).
