Nowadays many teachers and parents know English is very important forchildren. But they don’t know that. We must give everything to them. So some of students feel tired. How to let students know they must learn English by themselves

Hello everybody! I am an Elementary school teacher too. I teach grade 1. How to let students learn English by themselves is a big problem for me. Nowadays many teachers and parents know English is very important for children. We can try to our best let them happy to learn English , for example, music, games ,cartoons ,do action.

It is a big problem for all the teachers.But we can't do much to change this fact ...We can only touch the students who know that learning another languge change the world for the ones who know that languge.As teachers we can show our students the way of learning a language.If we force them as we sometimes do,they only hate to learn anyhing.so my advice is teach by using different techniques and materials but don't force your students,give them time and patience to understand it's good for their future.
