Abstract

The theories regarding the psychology of children have a long history and their development has brought to the fore more and more interesting discoveries. They are also rather numerous and not all of them have stood the test of time. Some of the most enduring, well-known and influential in the field belong to the Swiss researcher, Jean Piaget. This article aims at underlining some of Piaget’s ideas and at correlating them with the theories of teaching English as a foreign language to students of young ages.
