This paper explores the challenges faced by educators in teaching English to young learners from a global perspective while considering local realities. The study examines the various obstacles that teachers encounter in effectively imparting English language skills to young students, such as differing cultural backgrounds, limited resources, and diverse learning styles. By analyzing both international trends and local contexts, this research aims to provide insights into the complexities of teaching English to young learners and offer potential solutions to address these challenges. Through a combination of literature review and case studies, this paper sheds light on the importance of understanding the unique needs of young language learners to enhance their language acquisition and foster a more inclusive and effective learning environment.
