4.1 Changes to be made in order to improve the situation
As the art of teaching English to young learners is a specific skill
which needs specific training to be performed effectively, training
the English teachers who teach at the primary level should be the
first priority of the government. Teachers need to understand how
children learn a language. In addition, the curriculum needs a
thorough change according to the needs and interests of the
children including a lot of useful fun activities like songs rhymes
and games. Moreover, children’s scripts need to be corrected
according to their level to encourage creativity and discourage
memorization. The exam system also has to change so that the
authority does not force the teachers to promote memorization
among the children.
At the primary level, teachers should have a lucrative pay scale so
that skilled teachers feel motivated to join primary schools.
Besides, in order to get the best outcome from a language policy,
all related factors like teachers, teacher supervisors, teacher
trainers, curriculum developers and assessment specialists should
work together and a proper coordination should be made to make
language policy effective. The idea behind the coordination is to
ensure the expected result from the policy by providing the
students with material resources, appropriate course books, and
other aids including properly trained teachers. (Brewster and Ellis,
2004:4)
Most importantly, in order to make language learning effective,
child psychology and age have to be given the highest priority.
That is the reason why any policy regarding children’s education
should be tailored to suit young learners.
