The research is grounded in a qualitative review of literature by leading experts in the area, including Harmer, Scott and Ytreberg, Ur, Brewster, and Krashen. The results indicate that approaches like game-based learning, songs, storytelling, and Total Physical Response boost children's motivation, engagement, and language advancement. The importance of the teacher's role in fostering a nurturing and dynamic classroom environment is underscored, along with the necessity of engaging and age-appropriate activities.
