Summary: Self-introduction is making yourself known to someone else. Introducing ourselves is essential because it could open various doors for many chances. Hence, parents and teachers should guide young students to practice this activity through many learning strategies and mediums.
What is Self-Introduction?
Introducing yourself is the first step in entering society. The introduction makes people know and understand what kind of person you are. However, even if we consider this process mundane, many people still feel nervous when we need to introduce ourselves. Yes! Even adults sometimes experience speech anxiety when they meet new people. According to the Global Indian International School, self-introduction is making yourself known to someone else. When we introduce ourselves, we give them personal information, such as names. On the set of the first day of school, students will provide their names, ages, hobbies, favourites food, colour or animal, and more.
As the children grow up, self-introduction becomes more necessary, which is the door to various chances. Hence, as adults, we should prepare our students and children to do a self-introduction. The children might encounter their first self-introduction experience on the first day of kindergarten. The parents could prepare the base of self-introduction for their kids at home. Meanwhile, the teacher could hone and expand their skill at the school.

How to Teach Self-Introductions to Young Students?
Teaching self-introduction to young students requires a unique learning strategy. The method should be unique because, unlike other topics in English lessons, the students learn self-introduction through direct experience. According to the British Council, the purpose of the self-introduction chapter is for students to introduce themselves in the correct tone and pronunciation. Below is the lesson plan to teach self-introduction:
- Start the class with warm-up activities. You might engage the children in a simple game, tell a short story, sing a song, or watch short movies. These activities will prepare the student's brain to learn.
- Introduce the students to the chapter they are going to learn. Throw some questions to trigger their base knowledge before you explain the lesson in detail.
- Explain the lesson, give examples, and ask the students to practice self-introduction with partners.
- Do an icebreaker activity to avoid boredom and ease the students' minds.
- Ask the students to come to the in front of the classroom and have them introduce themselves.
- End the lesson with a conclusion from the teachers and some students.

My family consist of four. I have my Mom, Dad, and Holly. Holly is my dog, but he is part of our family. I love to draw, and I have many coloured books and pencils colours. If you also love to draw, we can do it together later. My favourite colour is yellow because it is the colour of my beloved flower, the sunflower. My favourite meal is the carbonara spaghetti and vanilla milkshake. I love watching the Japanese cartoon Doraemon. I hope we can be friends in this class. Thank you. Bye-bye."
