Abstract

This research aims at exploring the roles of native speakers for young learners on learning English speaking at the Clever School English Center. The primary purpose of the study is an attempt to examine the impact of native speakers for young learners in speaking lessons and find out effectively teaching methods of native speakers in speaking lessons. In order to achieve the aim of the study, the author used the survey questionnaire and class observation as instruments to collect the data. The results of the data analysis indicate that native speakers play a very important role because they take part in the roles of excellent organizers, good motivators, gentle participants and feedback providers in speaking lessons. The students also participated in the speaking lessons eagerly and excitedly but the interaction in English among them was still limited. In addition, the findings of the research suggested native speakers some teaching methods to teach young learners to speak English better as well as some equipment improvements supporting native speakers in teaching.
