Abstract

Group work becomes one of the effective and efficient teaching methods in education. Many teachers believe that group work gives many benefits to students. Young learners have different learning characteristics with adult learners. They need particular teaching treatments that are different from adult learners. That matter raises the question of whether group work can be applied to young learners. This research aimed at investigating the teachers’ perception towards the implementation of group work in teaching English to young learners. The participants of this study were four native English teachers who had experiences in teaching English to young learners. A questionnaire and interview were used to collect data and the results were analysed qualitatively through a descriptive approach. The research found that the participants had positive perceptions towards the implementation of group work in teaching English to young learners.
