This paper explores the role of interactive teaching methods in foreign language acquisition among young aged learners. Drawing on contemporary second language acquisition (SLA) theory and empirical classroom research, the study examines how game-based learning, storytelling, role-play, songs, movement-integrated activities, and digital interactive tools can be systematically employed to foster communicative competence in early language learners. The analysis demonstrates that interactive approaches significantly enhance vocabulary retention, phonological awareness, listening comprehension, and speaking confidence in young learners. Pedagogical implications and practical recommendations for EFL/ESL teachers working with children are presented in the conclusion.
