A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION TEACHERS’ USE OF ENGLISH PEDAGOGY AND THE IMPACT OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS.

Abstract

When it comes to teaching a language, it is often challenging to keep things exciting. In order to ensure that their pupils are able to learn by doing and comprehend the material that they are being taught, they make an effort to include the most effective learning theories, methodologies, tools, resources, and aids into their courses. In order to find out how to solve difficulties using this strategy, they may collaborate with their friends and make use of the experiences that they have common with one another. The researchers often use this iterative procedure in order to overcome the social and psychological barriers that they encounter. With regard to the instruction of a second or foreign language, this is of utmost significance. One of the primary objectives of this attentive practice is to assist pupils in improving their language learning. The findings of the research are used as a guide by teachers, and they supplement their approach with educational publications and opportunities for professional development that might be of benefit. Not only does a teacher bring their knowledge to the classroom when they engage in reflection, but they also bring all of the things they have studied, the things they have done, and significant academic frameworks with them. When teachers’ pay attention to how their students react, analyse data, and make adjustments to their teaching methods, they may assist their students in acquiring language skills more effectively. Educators could come to the conclusion that they need to modify or modernise their teaching methods if they take the time to reflect on themselves. The classroom functions in this manner as a laboratory, where you are able to put what you have acquired in the classroom into practice. By seeing how students interact with one another, teachers are able to get valuable information that assists them in making decisions on how to instruct.
