By telling them, "Wow! You’re already speaking English so well!" every time they respond correctly, we build their confidence and create a positive respond with learning. This simple but powerful strategy helps remove fear or hesitation and replaces it with excitement and pride in their progress.When they hear that they are already capable, they start believing in themselves, which naturally motivates them to try more and speak more.The goal is to ignite a spark, one that transforms English learning from something scary to something fun and rewarding. This early foundation sets them for lifelong language development, helping them grow into confident English speakers.
