Studying English has become essential in primary school in Romania in the last fifteen years even though it is not an officially required compulsory part of the curriculum but is one possible choice among a small number of languages. There are several factors for this trend. First, it is often assumed that it is better to begin learning English early. Second, economic growth and globalisation have resulted in the widespread use of English and the popular belief is that it is essential to have an English speaking workforce in order to compete. Last but not least, parents want their children to develop English skills as they consider that it is through English communication skills that all other skills and knowledge can be acquired and therefore they put pressure on school management to introduce English to younger children. However, there are several serious challenges that need to be taken into consideration when teaching English to young learners. The aim of this investigative article is firstly, to identify the key challenges experienced by primary English teachers globally, across a number of countries involved in an ample study carried out by the British Council in 2013 and secondly, to report its significant contribution to our local understanding of the challenges the Romanian teachers face in a similar way. The article has also highlighted a number of relevant and emergent issues in teaching English to young learners in Romanian primary schools which represent local challenges. |
