Abstract
Little is known about teaching English to young learners in Chile. Despite the importance given by the Chilean government to the English subject, its instruction is not compulsory until 5th grade. Although the Ministry of Education designed optional Planes y Programas to teach English from pre-schoolers to fourth graders, this material might not necessarily meet the students and teachers’ communicative needs. This article aims to understand and compare the Chilean NT2 considering education professionals, their training, and authorities'’ guidelines and the context to what the literature has explored on the area of early childhood education, from young learners’ features to classroom environment. Final considerations and reflections are included in relation to what can be improved
