Foreign language teaching is a systematic effort by a teacher to induce the learning of a different language or languages. Foreign language learning refers to the development of foreign language competence resulting from instruction. This involves a long-term learning task, not just something that can be done in a few days or weeks. It is a difficult endeavor. A childs process of learningis different from that of an adults. As we all know children can speak their mother tongue without much of learning and they can construct the structures of their L1through using the language in their normal day to day lives . Are there any similarities in childrens learning of L1 and L2? If so, how should we operate the class in accordance with these similarities? Can we give our child-learners an all-English learning environment to make them acquire the language more naturally? And what are teachers supposed to avoid in using all-English teaching method for child-learners? These questions will be discussed and answered in this paper. 1 The possibilities of using all English teaching method for child-learners With the globalization of our society, more and more people are now learning English, among which, child-learners take up a significant percentage. Some people believe that the main task for our children is to get a good command of their mother tongue. They claim that children do not have the ability to learn a foreign language. But long-term studies and surveys have shown that individuals who start learning a second language as children ultimately reach a higher level of L2 proficiency. With the intrinsic ability of accepting new things quickly and correctly, children can, like learning their mother tongue, master English naturally. So, as teachers, is it possible for us to create an all-English learning environment by using all-English teaching method to ensure our children to learn the language more effectively? We may get a clear understanding of the possibilities of using all-English teaching method for child-learners from the following aspects.1.1 Age According to our experience and intuition
