The teaching of English as an foreign lenguage to very young children has increased in recent years. As a consequence, teachers are more interested in learning how to teach pre-school children. Also, parents want their children to receive an adequate education which will prepare them to be competitive in future years. The awakening of interest in teaching young requires teachers to be prepared for it. Many teachers do not have any knoeledge about the language acquisition capacity that children hava. Consequently, they cannot take advantage of it and also do not know which methodology is appropriate for them. Moreover, appropriate materials and activities that can be applied to teaching very young learners are not well known by teachers. For this reason, the authors have decided to work on this topic because it will be useful for theachers to know about the language acquisition capacity that children have in order to take advantage of it, and to use an appropriate teaching methodology
