摘要：This study aims to examine the importance of English listening and speaking skills in preschool from teachers’ perspectives. A Likert-based survey with a questionnaire was analyzed by percentage. The sample selection is composed of 100 randomly selected preschool teachers in Kuantan, Pahang Malaysia. A total of 98 participants (98%) agreed that teachers’ knowledge on the English language was important in developing children's listening and speaking skills. Meanwhile, 99 participants (99%) agreed that teaching skills are important in developing children's listening and speaking skills. A total of 99 participants (99%) agreed that teachers’ English competency was important to produce children who could listen well. Finally, 98 participants (98%) agreed that teachers’ competency strongly influenced children's English Language speaking skills. The implication of this study highlights the needs to help teachers develop effective teaching strategies for preschool children’s listening and speaking English skills.
