1 INTRODUCTION
Foreign language education plays a crucial role in preparing students for an increasingly interconnected and diverse world. Young foreign language teachers, as the frontline educators in this field, play a pivotal role in shaping students' language learning experiences and outcomes. However, the effectiveness of language instruction can vary significantly depending on the teaching methodologies employed by these educators. Consolidating the teaching methodology of young foreign language teachers is essential to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to deliver high-quality language instruction to their students. This article aims to explore the importance of consolidating teaching methodology for young foreign language teachers and to provide strategies and approaches that can support their professional growth and development in this critical area.
By examining the various strategies such as training and workshops, peer observation and feedback, mentorship, professional learning communities, reflective practice, and classroom observations and coaching, we can better understand how schools and districts can support young teachers in implementing effective teaching methodologies. Ultimately, by consolidating the teaching methodology of young foreign language teachers, we can enhance the overall language learning environment and ensure that students receive the best possible language education.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
Foreign language education is a dynamic field that requires teachers to continuously adapt their teaching methodologies to meet the diverse needs of students and the evolving demands of the globalized world. Young
foreign language teachers, in particular, face unique challenges as they navigate their early career stages and strive to establish themselves as effective educators in the field.
Research has shown that the teaching methodology employed by foreign language teachers significantly impacts students' language learning outcomes. Effective teaching methodologies, such as communicative language teaching, task-based learning, and the integration of technology in language instruction, have been found to enhance students' language proficiency, motivation, and engagement in the learning process. [1; 201-233]
Mentorship has been identified as a valuable support mechanism for young teachers in developing and consolidating their teaching methodology. Studies have highlighted the positive impact of mentorship on young teachers' professional growth, confidence, and effectiveness in the classroom. [2; 224] By pairing young teachers with experienced mentors who can provide guidance, feedback, and support, schools and districts can help young teachers refine their teaching methodologies and improve their instructional practices.
Professional learning communities have also been recognized as a valuable resource for young teachers to collaborate with their peers, share best practices, and engage in ongoing professional development. By participating in professional learning communities, young teachers can access a wealth of knowledge, resources, and support that can help them enhance their teaching methodologies and stay abreast of current trends and research in language education. [3; 80-91]
Overall, the literature emphasizes the importance of consolidating the teaching methodology of young foreign language teachers to ensure consistency and

effectiveness in language instruction. By providing young teachers with training, mentorship, professional learning communities, and other forms of support, schools and districts can empower them to deliver high-quality language instruction and ultimately benefit their students and the language learning environment as a whole.
3 METHODS
In consolidating the teaching methodology of young foreign language teachers, it's crucial to consider a systematic approach that encompasses both theoretical frameworks and practical strategies. The methodology section of the article will outline the steps and methods used to strengthen and refine the teaching practices of young language educators.
The methodology will begin with a comprehensive review of relevant literature on language teaching methodologies, pedagogical theories, and effective teaching practices. This literature review will provide a theoretical foundation for understanding different approaches to language teaching and learning.
Next, the methodology will outline the process of conducting a needs assessment among young foreign language teachers. This assessment will help identify areas of strength and areas for improvement in their teaching practices. It may involve surveys, interviews, or observations to gather data on teachers' experiences, challenges, and professional development needs.
Based on the findings of the need's assessment, the methodology will describe the implementation of professional development workshops or training sessions for young language teachers. These workshops will focus on enhancing their knowledge of language teaching methodologies, classroom management techniques, assessment strategies, and use of technology in teaching.
Another component of the methodology will involve peer observation and feedback sessions. Young language teachers will have the opportunity to observe experienced educators in action and receive constructive feedback on their teaching practices. This collaborative approach encourages reflection and continuous improvement.
The methodology may also include the establishment of a mentorship program, where experienced language teachers serve as mentors to support and guide their younger colleagues. Mentors can provide personalized feedback, share best practices, and offer advice on navigating challenges in the classroom.
As part of their professional development, young language teachers may engage in action research projects. These projects involve conducting small-scale

research studies within their own classrooms to investigate specific teaching methods or interventions and assess their effectiveness. The methodology will outline the process of designing, implementing, and reflecting on these research projects.
Finally, the methodology will emphasize the importance of ongoing support and evaluation for young language teachers. This may include follow-up workshops, regular check-ins with mentors, and opportunities for further professional development. Continuous evaluation and feedback mechanisms will ensure that teaching practices continue to evolve and improve over time.
The scholars' approach to consolidating the teaching methodology of young foreign language teachers will draw on a variety of theoretical perspectives and empirical research in the field of language education. Key scholars and their approaches may include:
Krashen's input hypothesis and theory of second language acquisition emphasize the importance of exposure to comprehensible input in language learning. [4; 94-112] Young language teachers may incorporate this approach by providing meaningful and engaging input through authentic materials and activities.
Freire's critical pedagogy emphasizes the role of dialogue, critical thinking, and social justice in education. Young language teachers may adopt a critical pedagogy approach by engaging students in critical discussions about language, culture, and power dynamics in society. [5; 224]
Larsen-Freeman's complexity theory of second language acquisition views language learning as a dynamic and complex process influenced by multiple factors. Young language teachers may apply this approach by recognizing the complexity of language learning and adapting their teaching methods to accommodate individual differences among students. [6; 141]
Hattie's research on visible learning identifies effective teaching practices based on their impact on student learning outcomes. Young language teachers may use Hattie's principles to prioritize evidence-based teaching strategies and interventions that have been shown to be most effective in the language classroom. [7; 87]
Vygotsky and the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): Vygotsky's sociocultural theory emphasizes the role of social interaction and scaffolding in cognitive development. [8; 45] Young language teachers may apply this theory by fostering collaborative learning environments where students can support and learn from each other, guided by the teacher as a facilitator.
