Overview
On English in Early Childhood at British Council by FutureLearn you’ll explore early childhood development and examine how young children learn English as well as discovering how and why children learn best through play.
Study with language development experts
You’ll learn from British Council educators, global providers of high-quality English courses. You’ll learn the best ways to talk to young children, how to create an enabling environment for them to learn English as an additional language, and how to monitor their progress.
Through articles, videos, and discussions, you’ll hear from both early childhood experts and parents, and see first-hand how young children learn inside an early years’ classroom. Along the way, you’ll gather tips, advice, and downloadable resources that will help you teach English as a foreign language to children.
