The aim of foreign language education in early childhood is to support children’s linguistic, cognitive and social development during the period when they are most sensitive to language learning, and to ensure that they learn a second language naturally and effectively. During this process, it is aimed to develop a positive attitude towards a foreign language, to gain basic communication skills and to express themselves, to increase their cultural awareness and to support their cognitive flexibility. In addition, the education program aims to increase children’s learning motivation and to make language acquisition permanent through games, songs, stories and other interactive methods.
