Immersive Language Exposure: Children learn languages best through consistent exposure. I Engage them in activities where English is used naturally, such as storytelling, songs, and interactive games. This mirrors the way they acquire their first language, making learning more intuitive.

2. Positive Reinforcement: Encourage and praise children for their efforts in using English. Positive feedback boosts confidence and motivates them to participate more actively.
3. Visual Aids and Mnemonics: Utilize visual aids like diagrams and employ mnemonic devices to help children remember vocabulary and grammar rules. These tools make abstract concepts more concrete and memorable.
4. Interactive and Playful Learning: Incorporate language games, role-playing, and songs to create a fun, safe environment. This method uses constant repetition without being monotonous, facilitating natural language acquisition.
5. Encouraging Oracy: Focus on developing speaking and listening skills by integrating oracy into all school activities. This enhances student learning, confidence, and community participation. ?
6. Cultural Awareness: Being mindful of cultural backgrounds of the children. Incorporate elements from their cultures to make learning more relatable and inclusive.

By integrating these strategies, native English-speaking teachers can create a dynamic and supportive environment that promotes effective language learning for primary children.
