English as a foreign language; Young learners; Motivation; Differentiation approach; Methodological concepts; Multiple intelligences.Abstract
Primary school age is known to be the most favorable for learning a foreign language. Imitating abilities of a child, natural curiosity and need for new knowledge contribute to overcome the challenges facing foreign language learning. Using a foreign language a teacher familiarizes younger learners to a different culture on the one hand, and on the other hand- he/she fosters respect and tolerance for different lifestyles.
