- It is very important to start learning a foreign language in Primary school : the children have a lot of energy and curiosity, specially in early years they are all very motivated and they want to have fun!
- The teacher has to use different kinds of activities  that work with the students, to involve all of them.
-Songs, games, short stories, total physical response activities are very important to  learn the language.
- Listening and speaking are the two basic skills to develop and practice.
- Learning a new language should be a motivating and enjoyable experience for the learners ( not just when they start ...)

- To stimulate pupils' interest towards a foreign language is the first task of a teacher. Games, rhymes, songs, images are the most important ways to teach pupils a foreign language.

- To explain children the importance of learning a foreign language as the English language and the global role that it has today.

- To help children to develop important skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

- To support children's process of learning by the use of stimulating techniques and strategies.

Teaching a foreign language is a question of feeling. If the teacher loves it, children will feel it. Most of them will be attracted by the teacher’s  enthusiasm.

-Learning by doing: everything has to pass through movements.

-Songs and rhymes: a language must be learned  practising it. What a beautiful way to learn offer  songs and rhymes! Playing with the new words children learn the new sounds and the new pronunciations.

- become aware that English is everywhere: learning English allows them to think about communicating and getting to know the world

1. Learn by doing
I really believe that the best way to learn something new is to transform that learning in something which is realistic so that you can easily keep it in your mind.
2. Always find the right way to involve the students
It is not easy but a think the best way to involve the students in whatever you do is to establish a good relationship with them. When there is empathy with the  teacher, students follow you and are positive in everything you suggest them to do.
(Anna Carpino)

... 4 Keys in my opinion (Antonella Girolamo)

# data[].attributes.body
Last year I knew
the “Four Cs”:

critical thinking,

communication,

collaboration,

creativity.

This year I discovered
the “Four Ps”:

passion,

project,

play,

peer.

I think that every P is important but, if I have to choose, I say Passion!
Passion is the key to open all the doors and all the hearts!
You can create a Project, you can Play and you can collaborate with Peers if you are an appassionate teacher!
And I teach with Passion every day!!!

- Help learners understand why it's important to learn English, putting them in real life situations ( ex: ask for directions or book a table in a restaurant).
- motivate learners and keep their attention high during the lesson.
- make interesting lessons, by using songs, cartoons, short movies etc.
- encourage and develop the listening and comprehension skills ( avoiding learners will mimic words without understanding).

two statements I consider important are : 1)improve Language practice; 2)share contents and ideas. I think a teacher should constantly give students the opportunity of using the Language in written and oral production, starting  with short messages ending  up with  longer passages.  That leads to being able to share contents  and ideas which, together with the satisfaction of one's needs,  is the aim of human communication.
Besides I share the ideas in the post I connected to mine because teaching involves being trusted by students, making classes lively and interesting, respecting the students' feelings and what they like and thinking of teaching strategies adapted to every different Group of students
