1.2 Reasons for Choosing the Topic
I ch oose the topic “ PAPER FOLDING” AS A MEDIUM IN TEACHING
SPEAKING TO YOUNG LEAR NERS” for the following reasons:
1 Speaking skill is important for young learners because it introduces them to
the other skills such as reading and writing. 2
The children‟s world is still full of enjoyable activities. If English is taught more interestingly, it will motivate them to study it better.
3 Students usually get bored in learning foreign language because of the
conventional method used by the teacher which is not interesting because there is no media. Folding paper can be an alternative medium to teach
English for young learners.
