- Abstract
Language is one of the most important cognitive faculties that man possesses. Without language man is more dead than alive. It is an essential component in effective personality building especially in case of young language learners. The role of elementary language teachers becomes very important due to this. The teachers needs to free themselves with any type of prejudice and need to give the freedom of expression in whatever language the child chooses as the first step towards language education. The emphasis should be to inculcate the spirit of confidence and proficiency in the first language/ mother tongue. Once this is achieved then teaching a target language becomes an easy job. The paper highlights some of the steps that a language teacher can undertake in order to excel in the task of language teaching at elementary level.
