The Montessori approach, an educational philosophy founded by Dr. Maria Montessori, emphasizes child-centered learning through hands-on experiences, fostering independence, and promoting intrinsic curiosity. This method, when applied to teaching English to young learners, offers a unique framework that not only nurtures language development but also engages children in an environment where they can explore and internalize the language at their own pace. This article explores the Montessori approach's application in teaching English, focusing on the use of sensory-rich materials, individualized learning experiences, and communication-based activities. By creating a language-rich, supportive environment, the Montessori method encourages young learners to develop strong language skills while fostering a love for learning.
