“Young learners mean children in the early stages of their schooling, up to the age of 13 or
14”. Meanwhile, Scott and Ytreberg 1990:1 divided children into two
categories: five to seven years old, all at level one and beginner stage, and eight to ten years old, may also be beginner or they may have been learning the foreign
language for sometime. Childhood is the best time to teach language, because children learn
language very easily and enjoy learning another language. They also love to explore new sounds and love to design new words Petersen and Hayden,
