Abstract
This paper explores the role of whole language teaching in addressing the developmental needs of young learners by emphasizing natural, holistic approaches to language acquisition. Drawing on Piaget’s cognitive development theory, the study examines how educators can adapt instructional strategies to align with students' cognitive abilities, fostering both linguistic proficiency and cognitive growth. The integration of technology in language instruction is highlighted as a key trend, providing interactive platforms and digital tools that enhance learning. Additionally, the importance of developing critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills is discussed in the context of preparing students for the demands of the 21st century. Recommendations for teacher training programs are proposed, focusing on incorporating whole language principles, Piagetian approaches, and effective technology use. Curriculum development that aligns with developmental psychology is presented as a strategy for creating integrated language learning experiences that promote academic success and personal growth.
