Children or young learners are usually described as learners aged between six to ten or eleven years old. Young learners are natural learners because they are curious about the world around them and they learn by doing, active, and very curious explained by Halimi (2010). Linse (2005) says that, for children, it would be better if teacher teach speaking skill first to the students than other skills. Practically, speaking is not as easy as we think. Many students get difficult when they face speaking subject. It is because they do not brave enough to share their idea in English.
In teaching English for young learners, teacher becomes the most influential person in the classroom because she/he has to create a conductive classroom athmosphere. Moreover, English teacher is expected to use appropriate methods, systems, and techniques to make teaching and learning English more effective. Harmer (2007) concludes that in the process of teaching and learning, teachers should use appropriate media and techniques based on the students’ ability. It means that, by using appropriate techniques teacher can improve students speaking skill and catch students’ attention. Prasetyowati (2008) who conducted a research on the techniques used by the teacher in teaching speaking at Daffodils Course, Pare – Kediri, found that the techniques were speeches, role play, small group and audio taped. The teacher uses those various techniques to make the students speak English.
