ABSTRACT

Practicing different language for adults requires an extra effort, but this is not the case for children. In UK nursery classes, foreign children are exposed to a new language and use those words in sentences so that children are able to express their ideas and feelings. In concept, this learning process purposes four main themes and seven inter-connected shape educational programs in their early years. Those areas are divided into three prime areas and four specific areas to help children experiencing their development stages and acquiring English as their second language. To sum up, children’s cognitive development is formed into seven prime and specific areas which give children an opportunity to interact and engage with other people and their environment by playing and exploring, learning actively, and creating and thinking critically to remain as effective and motivated learners.
