CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTING COMMUNICATIVE APPROACHES IN EARLY EDUCATION

Abstract

This article examines the key challenges educators face when implementing communicative approaches in early education settings. While communicative methods are known to promote active participation and meaningful language use, their application at the early childhood level presents various obstacles. These include limited linguistic readiness of young learners, insufficient teacher training, lack of appropriate teaching materials, and classroom management difficulties. The study also explores cultural and institutional factors that may hinder successful implementation. Suggestions for overcoming these barriers are discussed, highlighting the need for professional development and curriculum support.
