Abstract
Considering the importance of theoretical knowledge on teaching young learners, 30 pre-service English Language teachers were given a three-week intensive training on how to teach English to very young learners using ‘Reading and Storytelling’ technique, which is based on TPRS (Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling). The study uses a pre-posttest technique and these 30 pre-service teachers were asked before and after the training what they know about the learning characteristics of different age groups (5-8, 9-12, 13+) and which age group they would prefer to teach and the challenges of teaching young learners. When the results of the pre and posttest are compared it is possible to see the positive effect of the training on the participants.
