A comparison of English Teaching strategies in a private and state preschool

Abstract

This thesis describes the analysis and description of two educational institutions where I conducted a study. I decided to investigate this specific topic because the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language from an early age is fundamental in the process of education. The research was done in two different preschools —private and state- with children of the third grade. Data was collected using the following methods: diaries, interviews. video and audio recordings, learning materials and lesson plans. 53 students from both institutions were observed during the study period.
