Speaking is more than a skill—it is the unfolding of voice, courage, and identity. This article presents a child-centered methodological approach for nurturing confident English speaking among young learners aged 7–9. Inspired by the guide The Magic of Speaking, this paper explores interactive, playful, and emotionally resonant strategies that allow children to express, connect, and grow through English. The discussion blends pedagogical theory with classroom practice and showcases the emotional journey from silence to self-expression.
