dc.description.abstractThe research explores methods and resources used to teach English as a foreign language (EFL) to young learners, based on secondary and tertiary sources published during the 21st century. The aim is to identify methods and resources, describing them in the context of EFL and categorizing them according to their frequency in the literature. A qualitative approach with a systematic review method was employed to synthesize findings from academic databases. Data collection was conducted in two phases using general and specific keywords, recorded in Excel tables for classification and frequency analysis. The results revealed a preference for participatory and interactive methods, with Total Physical Response (TPR) standing out as the most cited for its effectiveness in kinesthetic learning. Other relevant methods include the Audiolingual-Method, the Direct Method and the Natural Approach, which emphasize repetition and communicative immersion. In terms of educational resources, music and games were the most frequently mentioned to create an engaging environment. In addition, visual materials, such as images and videos, improved vocabulary comprehension. The study concludes that interactive and multisensory methods and resources, which maintain the motivation of young learners, are the most frequently mentioned in educational literature. It is suggested to further investigate methods and resources for teaching English to young learners, prioritizing the most cited methods and resources for future research, using empirical articles to get a clearer idea about their effectiveness in specific contexts and thus contribute to teaching English to young learners.
