Introduction
“Language is at the center of human life. We use language all day” (Cook, 1). Some people are able to do something in more than one language. Knowing another language may mean: getting a job, a chance to get educated, etc. It affects people’s careers and possible futures, their lives and very identities. “In a world where probably more people speak two languages than those who speak one, language learning and language teaching are vital to the daily lives of millions”. For pre-school children, it is difficult to learn oral English, so the teachers play an important role in a class.
In English learning, oral English, which is the key point for children, fosters children’s abilities in using English verbally. Speaking is one of the most important ways to express one’s feeling and mind. Especially today, with the development of the society, teaching children oral English is more necessary and popular. But there are many problems. In such poor condition, children cannot speak English very well. Even if they have a lot to say, they cannot open their mouths.

Such education only makes students know the grammar of English instead of speaking English fluently. Following that, the author introduces the problems in kindergarten, which is the second one. The second part analyzes the problems that are mentioned in the first part. In this part, the author analyzes the endangerment of these problems.
