This paper aims at contributing to a significant debate about English language teaching for children. Our objective is to raise issues regarding the teaching of English in childhood by discussing the role of English in the construction of children's identities as well as statements related to digital inclusion, teacher education and the use of text and activity genres. To ground our proposal, we present some relevant concepts in order to situate our assumptions: language and identity; teacher education and text and activity genres.
