1) we are teaching more than language: it is essential to know that we are forming the whole children and we also have to contribute to their emotional, personal and social well-being 2) There will be differences between students between three years old and five years old, and also there will be differences between children of the same age, so we must plan our classes using different strategies and resources, taking into account what they are able to learn 3) Children in this age understand more than what they can express and they learn first by interacting with others, so communication skills are one of the most important skills to be developed in language learning, and communication has denotative, communicative and regulatory functions

I like to talk about didactics. I am not used to talk about this topic, but I enjoyed making the video

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
I'd like to explore how the different resources may be applied, perhaps by analyzing a real class plan

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
Motivation: because I started to empower my ideas about how to teach English to very young children, using a variety of resources and activities, so I want to put them into practice.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
1) Young learners acquire language best through play, songs, movement and hands-on activities. Engaging multiple senses (sight, sound, touch) helps reinforce vocabulary and concepts naturally. Games, storytelling, and role-playing make language learning fun and meaningful. 2) Predictable routines and repeated exposure to language structures help preschoolers internalize new vocabulary and phrases. Using consistent greetings, songs and classroom phrases supports comprehension and retention while creating a secure learning environment. 3) Preschoolers learn best when they feel emotionally connected to the teacher and their peers. Encouraging interaction through group activities, peer collaboration, and real-life communication fosters confidence and motivation to use the L2 naturally.        

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
I love to learn about this subject. I think it's essential as future teachers to understand the whole child and to give our best when teaching.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
I'd love to learn more about how to apply technology in an accurate way in the classroom and also to explore on how the holistic aspect should be boarded. On the other hand, I think it's necessary to know how to make a lesson plan including all the aspects we learnt in unit 1.                                                              

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
Inspiration:                                                                         Analyzing the different authors and ideas allowed and inspired me to understand the great variety of resources we can use as L2 teachers and the wonderful results we can achieve.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
Teaching the whole child through English, use of meaningful, age-appropriate activities and the role of the L1 as support.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
One thought I had after doing Assignment 1 is that knowing English is not enough to teach English to very young children. It made me realise how important it is to understand their developmental needs, use age-appropriate methods, and create a playful and meaningful learning environment.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
One topic I’d like to explore more deeply is how to create developmentally appropriate activities that integrate English naturally into daily routines and play. I want to learn more strategies to make language input meaningful and effective for very young learners.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
One feeling I have experienced in the first unit is motivation. Exploring the characteristics of early childhood and how they relate to L2 teaching has inspired me to think creatively and responsibly about my future role as an educator.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
1- learning about children development. 2-to be conscious about their context and actual communication skills. 3- do not forget you are in front of a little person and far from underestimating children, I think they are golden treasures capable of anything if you teach them right.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
I remember thinking "how important it is to pay attentions to everything that sorrounds a person/children".  After doing the assignment, I thought about the importance and all the process it takes to learn a language beyond words and sounds. There's so much more than just speaking a language. And how every development stage plays an important part.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
I'm super interested in everything that has to do with neurological stuff. So I'd love to learn more about how the brain processes language and the communication process itself. What happends if they present any neurological problems or signals we need to pay attention to in terms of normal development. And how the emotions affect them too.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
I felt really interested through the whole unit, everything was clear and exemplified which made it easy to follow and even though some parts had more specific vocabulary, it helped me to learn new words.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
Teaching to young very learners is different to teaching to adults:  we need to know how children’s characteristics influence the form that they learn an additional language. How we teach and what we teach: this is another difficult task because it requires a lot of knowledge of children’s characteristics. Moreover, our lessons have to be enriching to them. The whole child: we are teaching more than an additional language. We need to contribute arduously to their developmental areas.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
After doing Assignment 1, I thought about how many things you need to know to make a good lesson. It is not just talking and printing material to work with. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
One topic I’d like to explore more deeply is how to implement technology in a young learner classroom.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
Honestly I felt very confused because there were many new concepts and words related to education. I think I need much more time to be familiar with them. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
Holistic Development: It is essential to understand how children develop cognitively, emotionally, and socially, as this influences their learning of a second language.                                                      Meaningful Learning: Activities should be relevant and connect to children's daily lives to foster their interest and motivation in learning new words and structures.                                                   Interaction: Providing an environment where children can interact with competent speakers and peers allows them to practice the language in a natural and enjoyable way.     

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
While completing the activity, I realized the importance of having a child-centered approach in language teaching. The way children learn is very different from other age groups, and this requires a tailored pedagogical approach.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
I would like to explore more about specific methodologies that can be used to teach L2 in a preschool setting. What are the best practices that have proven to be effective in the classroom?

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
Excitement: I felt thrilled to learn new strategies on how to teach a second language to young children, and this motivates me to apply what I learned in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
In my opinion, teching L2 involves: 1) Inmersion in meaninful contexts, whereas children learn throght real life experiences and interaction. 2) Oral language skills are the basis for the written language development. 3)The importance of multisensory approches to reinforce comprehension. 4)Teachers should consider children´s abilities before planning how to teach the target language.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
One thought I had was how children´s natural ability to acquire language differs from structured learning they learn as the mature. This made me realize how important is to provide conditions for an environment that feels natural, balancing enjoyment with cognitve engagement.

How to effectively manage a classroom while keeping children engaged with learning. I know that creating a positive and stimulating environment is key, but I would love to learn more about practical classroom management techniques for early childhood education. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
I experienced both excitement and curiosity. It was great to learn about how young children process a new language and how different aproches can shape their learning experience.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
1-We have to bear in mind the context and the abilities students have in kindergarden . 2- The students learn in a different way so that some activities work better for some and not to the whole class. 3- The learn a lot at this age as regards communication so we do not have to prepare activities on paper. 4- Students need routines so as to organize them when learning. 5- Role play activities are great for the students because they need to move and enjoy the different activities.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
1-Motivation: Learners need to be motivated by their teachers, with patience and kind words, they can trust and believe in theirselves about their development in learning. 2-Repetition: The repeat of words or phrases is very useful for the children to adquire a second language. E.g: repeating the names of numbers, letters, colors or objects in songs or texts can be enriching for the learning process. 3-Activities: Using songs, stories and games. The practice of the vocabulary in daily life, situations like getting dressed, cooking, cleaning up.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
A thought I had after doing the task is that I have to work hard in my speaking fluency, I get pretty nervous and it gets hard to speak in a spontaneous way, that is something that I have to improve a lot.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
I would like to explore more deeply in writing skills, specifically in grammar and phonetics of the language. This is because this two aspects are pretty difficult to me, and I want (and need) to develop them.  

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
Two feelings that I have experienced are curiosity and excitement about this journey, I´m looking forward to get new experiences in learning and discovering new concepts about the English language.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
 In my opinion, these are the three aspects I consider essential to L2 teaching at preschool: 1) Teaching the whole kid through English, supporting the development in all areas because learning a language isn’t isolated from the rest of the child's growth; 2) Knowing the developmental areas of the kid to adjust the activities to do in the class according to the age and skills of the student; and 3) the need of teacher expertise to know how to teach a second language and how to implement age-appropriate methodological skills.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
 As it happened with the unit, I thought it was going to be difficult and laborious but after I read all the material I found out that, guiding with the readings, it was easy to do.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
 I’d like to explore the teacher's expertise, as I think it wasn’t as much information as the rest of the concepts.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
  At the very beginning, I felt I wasn’t going to understand the material, but reading a bit every day made me feel it wasn’t as confusing as I thought. Then, when I started to comprehend what I was reading, I felt very motivated to start this course to become a teacher.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
In this first unit, I’ve gained knowledge concerning how to teach kids, it is crucial to distinguish between kids and older ages since children have specific characteristics to bear in mind when teaching them and that will undoubtedly guide our practice. Also, it is not all about the transmission of concepts but about contributing to the whole kid as a unit, considering aside from their cognitive, emotional physical, and social areas of development.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
A thought I had was about the relevance of the teacher's role and how careful one should be while dealing with kids. I’ve realized what the actual practice is about, at first, when teaching kids, it is like the language being taught takes a back seat because kids are still developing skills in their native language so it wouldn’t be wise to expect much more from them by adding a new language. It is all about learning through playing, and dynamic proposals. I also thought about the difficulty of the assignment, being the first one, and not having clear the actual task was tough because I thought, how am I going to advise an experienced teacher (not at preschool but with students in general) without any expertise? But the readings were helpful though.  

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
I’d like to keep on exploring how to manage a kids’ classroom and search and analyse all the possible strategies to be applied. Also, how to make wise use of technology to not spend all the time lesson listening to music without any goal

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
A feeling that was going around throughout the unit, was motivation and also intrigue. The unit’s contents are mind-opening, and I was feeling motivated while reading them because they give us an insight into what teaching young learners look like. Then, I felt intrigued because it was like a lot of information all of a sudden, so I was intrigued about how would it be when I had to put all that learning into practice. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
I consider that some important aspects are: introduce lenguage in meaningful contexts, use games, songs, and stories for natural engagement, use repetitive phrases and print-rich environment to encourage early literacy.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
As I read the study material, I realized the responsibility and commitment we must put into understanding a child´s development for optimal learning. It´s not just about singing songs and dancing; we must study their brain development and understand them in depth to plan appropiate activities.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
I would like to further explore strategies, methodologies, and tools for L2 teaching, particularly how to integrate English into meaningful activities.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
In the first unit, I experienced feeligs of motivation, confidence and a desire to put my knowledge into practice. It gave me a broad overview of resouces for teaching English at early ages, but there´s still a lot to learn. I´m excited!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
1) Give kids emotional security by creating a warm, supportive environment which encourages participation. 2) Exposing children to English in natural, everyday contexts to help them absorb the language effortlessly. 3) Use exploration and multisensory learning through art, music, and physical movement which help rainforce language acquisition in a developmentally appropriate way. 4) Using playful and engaging activities with songs, storytelling and movement-based games to keep kids motivated. 5) Use routines and scaffolding with repetitive structures, visual aids, and gestures to provide necessary suport for  comprehension.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
The material we studied in this unit reminded me of how crucial it is to keep things simple and visual for kids in kidergarten. Using pictures, gestures, and objects to explain concepts helps them learn the language more effectively.

At first, I felt curious because I was discovering how little kids acquire a second language and then, I felt slightly overwhelmed because theaching kids at kindergarten requires a very different approach from teaching older students.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
First, we’re not just teaching English, we are educating the whole child. L2 learning should be integrated into developmentally appropriate activities that support cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth. Second, a child’s L1 plays a crucial role in acquiring an additional language. That is why I believe we, as teachers, should recognize and value their first language since it helps build confidence, supports understanding and creates meaningful connections between languages. Lastly, children thrive in an immersive, print-rich environment where they can explore language naturally through meaningful interactions.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
A thought I had while completing or after finishing Assignment 1 was a sense of happiness, as I felt confident that I had done it accurately.

I am genuinely happy to see that this subject is exactly what I expected, if not even better. I truly appreciate having access to specific materials, as I find them much more engaging and useful. When I studied at another university, I struggled a lot because the materials provided were too general or primarily focused on teaching older children. Because of this, I now feel both satisfied and excited to continue learning.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
I consider essential to L2 teaching at preschool the following aspects: We teach to the whole child through English, we need to understand what they can do in different ages, because we build on previous learnings, and we always need to keep in mind that this is a holistic approach to the language.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
kids are always looking at their teachers, we need to enjoy teaching, to have a smile while teaching them. They will feel happy and confident and this will generate a positive attitude to the language.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
Firstly, consider all development areas in children when planning a class. Kids need to move, to share and socialize, to count numbers, express themselves in different contexts. Second, I would mention the importance of having a myriad of dynamics, painting, moving, singing, writing. Thirdly, I think it is also essencial to be thoughtful and respectufl, giving them the idea that they are in a secure environment, were they can express freely.

*Teaching Expertise which it involves not only an English language proficiency, but also special knowledge and training to work with pre-school children.  *Motivation awareness. Children learn by playing, so L2 teachers should place the emphasize on activities that encourage students to explore, play and create. *Key Developmental Areas. Children aged between 3 to 6 are growing in different areas and L2 teachers must be aware of this in order to plan lessons and activities which helps kids interact, explore and work through these different areas of development.

When it comes to teaching an L2 language at preschool we need to consider which is our goal. When cannot intend to teach grammar but we can present the basis of the language in sounds and commands that work now to interpret rules inside the class and will later be essential to understand language formation. We also need to bare in mind the needs that children have at that age, how dynamic we ought to be to grab their attention continuously without missing learning objectives. Last but not least, planning is essential; we cannot enter any class without the visual material and attractions ready. We need to bre prepared just in case those things don't work to adapt our plan and revise when necessary. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
As I just said, when reading Julia's case, I could not avoid feeling identified by that situation. I could imagine being trapped in a class in which neither students nor me are confortable. And that is one of the main concerns since we need to be able to "read" correctly the dynamic of the class to be capable of acting in concordance.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q
I'm thinking about the different insights there are about children's learning processes. There are many authors that offer enough theory to identify the characteristics of young learners and I'd like to read further about them. It's amazing how quick they learn and how important our role is as teachers to contribute in a correct way. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
According to my feelings; I'd first name relief when reading the foundations and realizing it's similar to what I've always sustained. However, I'd also have to say I'm a little worried about the demand that these groups have. When I read Julia's case, I couldn't help feeling identified and imagining myself in that situation daily.

When teaching a second language (L2) at the preschool level, several aspects are essential to ensure effective and engaging learning. Some of them can be: Immersive and Play-Based Learning: At the preschool stage, children learn best through play and real-life experiences. Creating an environment where the L2 is integrated into daily routines and activities (e.g., songs, games, and interactive storytelling) helps make the language feel natural and enjoyable.Repetition and Routine: Young children benefit from repetition and consistency. Repeating vocabulary and phrases through songs, gestures, and everyday interactions helps reinforce language acquisition and supports long-term retention.Visual and Sensory Support: Using visual aids (e.g., flashcards, pictures, or real objects) and sensory experiences (e.g., touch, movement, and play) can make the L2 more accessible and relatable. This supports children’s understanding even if they don’t yet have the vocabulary to express themselves.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
While completing my activity, I thought the way that children learn is different from the others age groups, and the tools and activities are very differents and the atmosphere of the class too. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.vItPZu9Q

Play-Based Activities: Games, songs, and stories are key to keeping children engaged and learning. Short, Fun Tasks: Kids have short attention spans, so activities need to be brief and exciting. Use of Visuals and Movement: Pictures and actions help children understand and remember words. Focus on the Whole Child: Teaching English also supports social and emotional development.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
From working on the assignment, I’ve learned that teaching English to young children is very different from teaching older students. I now understand the importance of using fun activities like games, songs, and stories to keep their attention and make learning enjoyable. I also realized how essential it is to adapt lessons to their developmental stage, focusing on simple tasks that match their abilities. This assignment helped me see that teaching at an early age is about supporting their overall growth, not just their language skills.

Play-based learning is essential because it allows children to acquire the language naturally through songs, stories, and games. When learning is fun, engagement and retention increase. Predictable activities provide a sense of security and reinforce language acquisition. Multisensory activities, such as using visuals, movement, and hands-on experiences, enhance comprehension and make learning more interactive. Different sensory inputs support different learning styles. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
While completing the assignment, I realized how important it is to adapt language activities to different learning styles and needs. Some children respond better to songs, while others prefer movement or visuals.

1-	Teaching young children English is different because they can’t read or write yet. The main idea is to teach the whole child, not just the language. We are used to teaching with a board and writing activities, but with preschoolers, we need a different approach. Instead of focusing only on writing and reading, we help children learn English by using all four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. 2-	Children at different ages learn in different ways. Preschool education builds on what children have learned before, but their needs and abilities change a lot between ages three and five. A three-year-old and a five-year-old have very different levels of understanding and skills. Even children of the same age can develop at different speeds, so we need to adapt our teaching to each child's stage.  3-	Preschool years are very important for a child’s development. This is the time when children start forming their identity and learning skills that will shape their future. Language development at this stage is not just about learning new words but also about helping children grow in other ways, like improving their thinking, creativity, and emotional understanding.

It is important to understand how children grow and develop in different areas, like thinking, emotions, and social skills. Knowing this helps teachers set realistic expectations for children's learning and also helps guide parents on what to expect at each stage. I would like to learn more about how these areas influence language learning in preschool.

One thing that happened to me is that I thought teaching young children would be easier because they learn naturally. However, after reading so much material, I realized that it is more complex than I expected, and it is very important to learn about it before starting teaching practice.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
1) A prhase which remains in my mind is “young learners rely strongly on their teachers”. In this way,  it turns esencial for teachers to be aware of that so they can reach their goals properly. 2) Educators learns about kids everytime, everyday. Knowing this could help preschool teachers paying more attention to children´s demonstrations during the class. 3) To internalize with children´s language in kindergarten by knowing their main characteristics and how it changes in each stage.  4) Keeping in movement is a neccesity of kids, so activities in class ougth to be amusing such as dancing with music and great storytelling.

As I mentioned above, almost all the content and pieces of information are new for me in this subject, so I would like to go on working with teaching strategies, classroom games, how to get children attention effectively, and at the same time, to get tools to organize a wide variety of classes. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.w820Nfkg
Based on the theory I´ve read, I could realize that working with very young children is a great challenge, especially because their cognitive developmet is not prepared to recieve certain types of information, so we – as teachers to be-  must be aware of that and stay prepared in order to influence them properly.  

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
Since the Reading I have understanded very clear that most important aspect for L2 Teacheing at preschool is clearly to have the enogh amount of knowledge about kids development process. It´s mandatory. Then you have to know your audince, so that you must be aware of what they are capable of doing… in order to have your plan lesson adjust. Then I can san that an excellent level of the Language is requiered becasuse of L2 student´s undestanfing. Then Communication, Language and Literacy and in the same order of importante I would hay that PRoblem-solving, reasoning and numeracy. There´s no other way you can do it.

An aspect I'll be exploring is the different classroom activities that can be done in this context. I absolutely agree on the utmost importance of theory, but what helps me the most, PERSONALLY, is to see solutions and implementations. Again, in no way this diminishes the importance of any concept learned in this unit, what I'm saying is that to fully understand those concepts I need to see a lot of it put into practice and lots of examples. Great unit and great topics!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
1) Children learn through engaging activities. Play, songs, rhymes and other types of creative activities are fundamental for kids to engage in learning. 2) Interest. Through engaging and creative activities, younger learners will be interested in the coming lessons. 3) Spoken language. Through oral production, children will become aware of phonemes, pronunciation, enabling them to acquire vocabulary that they will use in future social interactions.

Aspects I consider important for teaching L2 at preschool: MENTAL DEVELOPMENT: it is important to ensure that the lessons coordinate with the cognitive abilities of preschool children. EMOTIONAL FACTORS: creating a positive and supportive atmosphere helps children feel comfortable and motivated to learn. SOCIAL INTERACTION: giving children opportunities to communicate with their peers and other speakers supports language acquisition.USE OF THE FIRST LANGUAGE (L1): the child's firt language should assist them in understanding and learning the second language. REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES: using real experiences that engage the children makes learning more meaningful.

Teaching English to young children who are not yet literate is a major challenge. It is not possible to rely on traditional methods such as writing activities. Instead, it must focus on developing diverse skills, such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing, while supporting the child's overall growth.- Different Teaching Methods for Preschoolers- Since young children cannot read or write, English teaching must go beyond this. Use songs, videos, puppets, etc. Methods that generate interaction and engagement will foster listening and speaking skills. -Age Differences in Learning-Children between three and five years old develop at different rates, and even those of the same age may develop differently (earlier or later). Teaching methods must be adapted to each child.-The Preschool Years Shape Future Development-Kindergarten education is an important step as it influences a child's identity, cognitive skills, creativity, and emotional growth. Learning a second language like English at this stage is not just about acquiring vocabulary, but also about strengthening and developing essential life skills.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
One of the thoughts I had was that it's not just about teaching a language, it's about contributing to the child's holistic development in all their abilities through language, and that has opened my mind, since we often only think that we have to teach a language in a pre-established way, and that's not the case.

Another emotion I experienced was the amazement at seeing the children's development from a very young age and how much they can learn in their short lifespan.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
It is essential to understand that we must guide and support children's learning according to their cognitive development, rather than pressuring them to learn as an adult or older child would. Young children learn quickly, but teaching them requires expertise and creativity. Additionally, play is crucial in the construction of their knowledge, as it allows them to explore language in a natural and engaging way.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
I deeply reflected on the responsibility of being a teacher. Our role goes beyond teaching academic concepts; we also have a duty to guide children in navigating life, which is complex and challenging. This is not something to take lightly. It is an important and profound responsibility. I don’t want to romanticize aspects that shouldn’t be, but I also believe that teaching requires a great deal of love. Taking charge of young children's education is both a heavy and deeply rewarding responsibility.

We must have a long-term plan, where we consider the advantages and limitations that may arise in teaching a second language at an early age. In this plan, considering those disadvantages helps us to find ways to deal with them.                            Another aspect is: “According to Mourão & Ellis (2020, p. 11), “The most significant difference between preprimary-aged children and other groups of language learners is that they are developing in all areas at an enormous rate: cognitively, physically, emotionally and socially, as well as linguistically”. As they are developing in all of these areas we must ask ourselves as teachers if we are motivating all of these areas, introducing language in each of them.In addition to considering all the development the children are going through, we must use what they already know, singing, drawing and every aspect of engaging them in the language.

As I said before, at the beginning I was a bit anxious about the challenge of teaching young children, but at the same time I was very excited about the journey, because I think they are wonderful and you can learn a lot from them. At the end of the unit I understood and was able to give name to several thoughts I had, I understood a little more about the importance of involving the game, technology, to immerse children in the language, I feel that with proper preparation, it will not cease to be difficult but it will become more enjoyable and motivational for them and us as teachers

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
I’ve learned that integrating play and hands-on activities is essential for language acquisition; indeed, children naturally absorb language when they’re engaged in games, songs, and movement. Furthermore, establishing consistent routines creates a comforting structure that not only encourages kids to use English but also builds their confidence. Moreover, creating a warm, supportive environment is crucial because when children feel emotionally safe, they’re more willing to experiment with and use a new language. Additionally, using visual aids, gestures, and real-life objects helps make abstract language concepts concrete, which is especially important for young learners.

Play-based learning: Preschool children learn best when they are engaged in play. Activities like songs, games, and role-playing make language learning more interactive and fun.

Sensory engagement: Using visual aids, gestures, and movement helps young learners connect words with meaning. This is crucial because children at this age learn through their senses.

Simple, clear instructions: Since preschoolers have a limited attention span, it’s important to give instructions that are short and easy to follow. Repetition also helps solidify their understanding.

1)	It is essential to take into consideration every single age at teaching L2 at preschool. It is not the same to teach English to three-years-old kids, than five-years-old ones. 2) As teachers, we are not only teaching a language. They are developing themselves at many aspects (physically, psychologically, socially between others). 3) It is essential to focus on what they can do and what they enjoy doing (Fun + cognitive engagement = learning)

1. Play-Based Learning: Engaging children through play enhances language acquisition. 2- Routine and consistency: Establishing routines helps children feel secure and anticipate language exposure. 3- Multisensory Approaches: Utilizing visual aids, music, and movement engages multiple senses for better learning. 4- Positive Reinforcement: Encouraging small achievements boosts motivation and confidence.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
These 3 aspects were which I found interesting: 1)Teacher expertise: An advanced level of language proficiency and the ability to implement age-appropriate methodological skills is key for several reasons. Oral fluency in particular needs to be at an advanced level for teachers to be able to respond to the many informal uses of language that are likely to occur in the young learner classroom (Enever 2011). 2)Sustaining motivation over time: Today the Halliwell’s (1992) claims in many schooling systems, the emphasis is placed on formality and concentrated effort, both of which tend not to support environments where children might be making noise – thus placing much stress on the teacher who attempts to introduce activities where children have fun, in the process of learning the FL.Children learn more easy when they feel engaged with their teacher. 3)The role of out-of-school learning: English is available beyond the classroom increasingly in many contexts worldwide. The growing opportunities for this cannot be understated in terms of their impact on young children´s familiarity and general sense of ease with pronunciation and prosodic features even before they begin learning English formally in some contexts.

Motivation. Motivation is important in the teaching learning process, since it influences the learning enviroment. It helps us as students to set and reach our academic goals, to engage us. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
Holistic Development: It is crucial to focus on the 1-1-Holistic Development: It is crucial to focus on theoverall development of the child, integrating language learning with cognitive, social, and emotional growth. This approach ensures that children learn in a supportive and engaging environment. 2-Play-Based Learning: Using play as a method for teaching L2 is essential. Activities that involve games, songs, and storytelling not only make learning fun but also help children naturally acquire language through interaction and exploration. 3-Creating a Positive Environment: A nurturing and positive learning environment encourages children to express themselves without fear. This helps build their confidence and motivation to use the language in different situations. 4-Engaging Families: Involving families in the learning process is important. Teachers can guide parents to use English in everyday activities at home, which reinforces what children learn in school. 5-Adaptability: Teachers must be flexible and ready to adapt their teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of young learners. Understanding each child’s unique developmental stage is vital for effective teaching.

I felt excited to learn about the different methods for teaching young learners because it opened my eyes to the importance of a holistic approach. At the same time, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the challenges teachers face in meeting the diverse needs of children in a preschool setting.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
Play-based learning:- Young children learn best through engaging and interactive activities like songs, games, and storytelling.   Multisensory approach:- Using visuals, movement, and hands-on activities enhances understanding and retention.   Encouraging Communication:- Providing a safe space for children to express themselves in the L2 fosters confidence.

- As teavher we have to think that we are teaching to the whole child, he/she is growing mentaly to. - We have to know our stidents age so as to prepare their class according to what they can do. - Learning a second language has the same procces like L1. So don´t rush on the teching. We have to bear in mind that not all children learns at the same preiod of time.

1)	What I have learned about L2 teaching in preschool is that we must keep in mind that we are preparing children to grow into young kids and eventually adults. Everything we teach them becomes a new experience, a new lesson, and they are likely to remember it.2)	When teaching preschoolers, it is crucial to understand that they learn through play, as they love playing at this age. We cannot expect them to pick up a pencil and paper and start writing or completing activities we propose because they may not fully understand what we are asking or may not be interested.3)	They learn by listening, repeating, and experiencing language in context.

1)	I felt fear because, although I had worked with preschool children through early stimulation, they already had some basic knowledge of Spanish (their first language). However, knowing that I would be teaching them a second language (English) made me afraid of failing—of not being able to answer their questions or even of them not understanding me.2)	Then, I experienced anxiety as I started thinking about what the children would be like—whether they would be interested in learning English, whether they would accept me as a new teacher, and whether we would be able to build trust between us.

1) Interaction: This is a crucial area because the children are the most important part of it. Interaction with peers and teachers help children to be active during the process; it also provides the necessary input, context and fosters social and cognitive development creating a well-rounded learning experience. 2) Teaching the whole child: In my opinion, this concept is essential when teaching to preschoolers. Language development is deeply connected to their cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth so we have to bear in mind that we are not only teaching English to children. Preschoolers are developing individual needs and by understanding their needs, we can create a more effective and enriching L2 learning experience that supports their growth and development. 3) Meaningful learning: When giving the children activities to do, before doing it, we have to pay careful attention to their interests. Activities may be relevant to children and their daily life so they can have an active participation and be motivated.

Teaching a second language to young learners presents unique challenges and opportunities. Since children at this stage are still developing foundational skills, language instruction must go beyond traditional methods and instead emphasize engagement, interaction, and play. A play-based approach allows children to learn naturally, while a language-rich environment fosters acquisition. Additionally, balancing L1 and L2 use can help build confidence and understanding. Repetition and routine provide structure, reinforcing learning, and multisensory experiences such as music, movement, and visuals enhance retention and engagement.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
Teaching L2 at an early age is not just about vocabulary and grammar. It’s about creating meaningful, immersive experiences that contribute to the child's overall development.

1. Learning based on games, songs, role-playing, pictures, imitation, activities in groups, and so on. 2. Keeping in mind what kind of skills/abilities they already have and working on them. 3. Changing material and activities: it is necessary to keep them motivated because they are curious and proactive most of the time. 4. Consider that not all of them are at the same stage, as they have different skill developments and backgrounds. 5. As a teacher, it is important to be dynamic, active and enthusiastic to keep their attention in class. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
Analyzing that particular case gave me a critical perspective and the confidence to try to solve the problem. This experience showed me how important it is to be properly trained to teach children at that age.

I felt motivated and inspired. It is amazing how we can make a positive impact in their process of learning while we teach them properly, using the 'right' method. Also, I feel that this stage (preschool) is in constant evolution because of the new generations coming, so it seems like I will never finish learning exactly what they need because they will always need different things in the coming years. It will be constant training. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
Repetition and Routine – Preschoolers benefit from consistent exposure to L2 through daily routines, repetitive phrases, and structured activities that reinforce language patterns. Meaningful Contexts – Language should be taught in real-life, meaningful contexts, such as greetings, naming objects, and simple requests, to help children connect words with their everyday experiences. Positive and Encouraging Environment – Creating a stress-free, immersive, and encouraging atmosphere builds confidence and motivation, allowing children to take risks and experiment with the new language.

A.  The concept of teaching "the hole child". Teaching a second language is not an isolated skill but part of a child’s overall cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. As Mourão and Ellis said, it is crucial to understand that they are not just learning a new language, they are developing in all areas at an incredibly fast rate.       B. Consider that young children learn by interaction with other people and through their imagination. Therefore, activities should include games, movement, gestures, songs and manipulative materials.       C. Have in mind the role of phonological awareness: is a fundamental skill for early literacy and L2 learning. Activities like songs, rhymes, rhythm games, help this ability in a natural and enjoyable way.

I felt familiar with many of the concepts discussed because, as a kindergarten teacher, I’ve encountered similar ideas in my daily work. I also felt hopeful, as I believe this subject will provide me with tools to make my teaching more effective. Throughout my career, I have often heard comments suggesting that teaching young children is easy or that they come to school just to play. I strongly believe that everything a child learns in their early years lays the foundation for their future learning. We need to pay real attention to the education we provide to the youngest, considering their specific characteristics, needs, and age differences. Additionally, It’s important to have teachers who are well-trained and willing to find new resources and keep improving their skills to provide a meaningful education.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
a) I think that is essential to understand the fact that children learn in a different way that older kids, is more than just grammar. b) Their learning experience is multisensory and active, they learn though movement, hearing (repetition or music/videos), interacting with their classmates and the thing around them, etc. c) It is important to create a safe space for kids in order to make them feel safe and comfortable to participate and learn.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8

1) If we teach from an early age, we will be providing tools for communication and social relationships. It is very important to have good planning to help them in their development. 2) As teachers, we must educate children having taking into account the age of them. . Age differences are important, because learning processes will be different. 3) Teach from a child's perspective, that is, through play and creativity in a relaxed and motivated environment.

I felt satisfied whit the knowledge i gained. I found the information provied by the teacher to be very useful for incorporating into the classroom, and it motivates me to want to continue learning even more. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.B6E8BDM8
Young learners learn better in context and reflecting on their past experiences so learning should be an active process adapted to the child's needs. This doesn't mean that the activities are limited, actually the more exposure to the language, the better. Since children still do not acquire writing and reading skills, speaking and listening are essential and incorporating activities that encourage children to use the language to interact with each other and the teacher, is engaging and will make the child feel more confident. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.G8iQsbB8
