This paper explores the practical application of the Montessori method in teaching English to preschool children. The study was conducted in a Montessori-based classroom and focused on how sensory-rich materials and self-directed activities support early language acquisition. Results showed that children demonstrated improved vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence in using English when taught in a Montessori environment. The findings suggest that the Montessori approach provides an effective, developmentally appropriate framework for integrating English language learning in early childhood education.
