In east part of our country socio-cultural problems are more than those in other regions. The density of climate and geographic conditions decrease the life standards and make compatibility hard. Standards and make compatibility hard. Family population is high. This situation and socio-cultural difficulties prevent children and adults from having good educational facilities.

Foreign language learning is one of the most important issues of today’s condition. Moreover, in some fields one foreign language is not enough and another foreign language is Our local and region unfortunately is not developed enough for this. In most families children and adults don’t speak a foreign language and they cannot benefit from the facilities of the foreign language school that give this service. So this situation makes them more disadvantaged in their lives as compared to other children and adults.

In language learning the most suitable age periods are 1-6 year-old students of primary school.

As a young developing group, we planned to taught English to a group consisting of children from schools of our province and children who were working in the streets. We would have used the games the local and cultural games that these children always play. By doing so, we did attract their attention and interests to taught them English in an effective way and made them more enjoyable.

In the scope of national youth initiatives, our Project, which was to be carried on with non-formal education techniques, had been implemented in Erzurum City Centre for 6 months.
